The cornerstone of The Graeme Preston Foundation for Life is based on the importance of affecting the lives of others through specific acts of kindness and generosity. As such, we believe that the personal commitment of time is the most precious gift that we can give to another. In furtherance of that philosophy, we are pleased to announce our first major initiative - Graeme's League of Volunteers (G’s LOV).
Who Are We?
G’s LOV is a volunteer based organization comprised of anyone and everyone willing to share their time, energy and talents addressing the areas of need in our community.
What Are We?
Graeme's League of Volunteers (G's LOV) is a community of individuals and groups, with helping hands and willing hearts, brought together by the grace of Graeme. We believe the decision to volunteer impacts others' lives, as well as enrich our own. In keeping with Graeme's spirit and eagerness to help others, we aim to provide a vehicle that connects people willing to help with those in need of assistance. Through community involvement and embracing the powers of love, positive actions, unity and kindness...You'll Never Walk Alone!
What Will We Do?
Thanks to the leadership of Anne Preston, Cathy Sivo and Karen Preston, G’s LOV has started to identify areas of need within the community, areas we can provide volunteers that can make an impact on others. If you know of areas of need where our volunteer resources would benefit the community, i.e. an organizational event needing volunteers, individuals or families experiencing a recent tragedy or hardship, or a great idea for community involvement, please let us know. We welcome all suggestions with the goal of affecting lives in a positive, caring and compassionate manner.
If you are interested in joining our league, please email us at GraemesLOV@gmail.com and tell us a little bit about yourself.

Our kickoff event on June 22 was a great success! Thanks to the teamwork and efforts of countless volunteers, just under 1,100 of our family and friends enjoyed a day filled with smiles, sun (and a little rain), friendship and food. There was something for everyone—family activities, music, sports, a rock wall and repel line, a skateboard park and even a surprise appearance by skateboarder Bryan Wenning. But more importantly, it was a day to create awareness for a great cause.
