In loving memory of George Paitich

The #forthekidsGP Foundation is a community-based, non-profit organization dedicated to honoring the life and legacy of Saint Paul Como Park’s late son, brother, friend and devoted elementary school teacher, George Paitich. We honor George through charitable giving, including scholarship rewards to local, aspiring school teachers and school supply drop-offs to various local schools.
