Annual Crockpot Cookoff & Poker Tournament
We put on our first poker tournament which was our original vision for this non profit as one of Greg Prendergast's favorite hobbies was playing poker with friends and experiencing a healthy dose of competition!

2nd Annual GPMFoundation Benefit
The generosity that poured over this night continues to humble us. For our 2nd benefit a leadership team was assembled to take what had begun with the GPMFoundation and run with it.
We continued the traditions that had been established with the first benefit, but had new additions, such as the chili cook-off and paper airplane competition that created an unforgettable event!
On a somber tone, two very loving family members who meant very much to Greg Prendergast could not make it to this event due to sickness and figuring out how to enjoy the last few days that they had on this earth. We were sad to not have Rose Prendergast & William Robertson with us but we remembered them by having a bagpiper greet each guest that came in their honor. Thank you Rose and Bill for the inspiration you have been to us all.

1st Annual GPMFoundation Benefit
The GPMFoundation held its first benefit on Oct 23, 2010 at American Legion Hall in Lapeer and it was a huge success. Many people from around the Midwest came to support our organization; it showcased America at its best! The night included a concert by Tifani Vandenburg and the MacroJazzmatics, a Comedy Show by Josh Mills, a Silent Auction, a Karaoke Tournament where Grandma Prendergast took away the crown, and a Euchre Tournament led up by Daniel Fiske. Overall, lots of laughter was had and by the end of the night we had raised just over $4000! INCREDIBLE!! We were able to support many local needs with the funds we raised and begin the journey of what it means to be HOPE in action.
