The Grace Fort Gouldsby Scholarship Foundation has been in existence for over 35 years and has given thousands of dollars in scholarships to students in Texas. We are excited to announce two upcoming events on Labor Day weekend aimed at empowering and supporting our community!

Saturday, August 31 at 9:00 am, will offer high school students a morning filled with insightful sessions and panel discussion designed to help kickstart your exposure to various careers and steps to build your skill sets. Our event will feature industry experts and professionals who will share valuable career tips and advice to help you succeed in the ever-evolving job market. Don't miss this opportunity to network with like-minded individuals and gain the skills needed to be career ready in 2024. This event will be offered online as well as in-person.

Sunday, September 1 at 2:00 pm, we are hosting our first Texas Classic Domino Tournament and encourage you to bring your competitive spirit. More than 200 domino players are invited to compete for over $5,000 in cash and prizes, including a UDL Championship belt and trophies. Welcoming spectators, the event is expected to attract hundreds of attendees from all over Texas and the surrounding areas. Supporters of the fundraiser Domino Tournament will enjoy live music, a comedian, DJ, raffles, vendors, and a special celebrity guest, all coming together to raise money for a good cause.
