Greggs Goals is a nonprofit organization focused on education. It is based in Escondido, CA and received its nonprofit status in 2012. We host an annual event to raise scholarship money for high school and college students who played soccer, who are dedicated and hard working in pursuing their goals. Gregg’s Goals raises money to give scholarships in memory of Gregg Garon.  His family and friends wanted to keep Gregg's memory alive by creating a scholarship fund for young people who play or have played the sport he loved.

Gregg grew up in Rancho Penasquitos (PQ) in San Diego County and played in the first year of soccer in the Poway Soccer Club in 1975. His soccer career continued, playing in the soccer club that his parents helped found, the Penasquitos (PQYSA) Soccer Association.  Gregg also played soccer at Mt. Carmel High School, and continued his love for the sport, later coaching in PQ, Poway, and in Marietta, GA. 

Through our fundraising efforts, Gregg's Goals has been able to award over $200,000 in scholarships over the past 15 years!  With your support, we hope to be able to continue to provide scholarships.

You may access detailed information (including history, recipients, other ways to help) on this website . The entire Garon and Balderrama families pitch in to work on this fundraiser. .. so we are a completely volunteer organization (a 501c3 registered charity) with no funds going to salaries.

Help us continue to support our young generations in the name of Gregg.

2019

The 2019 fundraiser “Parrotheads Unite!” was a beautiful event with tropical costumes and decor to celebrate this year’s scholars.

In 2006, Maryanne and Dennis Garon decided to start a soccer scholarship…

Since then, we have had events from the 2022 Greggs Galaxy Fundraiser, to the first ever Greggs Goals Wine Tasting and Silent auction in 2011 have occurred. The original purpose of the scholarship was to reward the somewhat “unsung heroes” amongst the players.

The ones with lots of heart, love of the game, the ones who are always there rain-or-shine, win-or-lose to be part of their team.
