The #ForTheKidsGP Foundation is a community-based nonprofit honoring the life and legacy of George Paitich, a beloved son, brother, friend, and devoted elementary school teacher from Saint Paul’s Como Park community. Its work celebrates George’s commitment to children and education by directing charitable support toward local students, schools, and aspiring educators. The foundation provides scholarship rewards to local people pursuing careers as school teachers and organizes school-supply drop-offs for schools in the area.

Its community activities also include George’s Birthday School Supply Run/Walk, an annual event that brings together participants, donors, and volunteers to collect supplies for local students and teachers. Through fundraising, donations, and volunteer involvement, the foundation helps provide practical educational resources while keeping George’s memory at the heart of its efforts. The organization also shares community events and opportunities to participate, inviting supporters to contribute and stay connected.

The #ForTheKidsGP Foundation offers a meaningful way for community members to honor George and support children’s educational opportunities across Saint Paul
