WHO WE ARE

The Greg Beckwith Foundation is a living tribute to the remarkable legacy of Greg Beckwith. Greg’s extraordinary energy, relentless determination, and genuine care for others uplifted those around him, creating environments where everyone felt valued and capable of achieving greatness—a legacy otherwise known as The Beck Effect.

The Beck Effect is about more than just success—it embodies a spirit of positivity, leadership, and an unwavering commitment to community and empowerment.

Our mission is to carry forward this powerful legacy by supporting students who embody these values. The Foundation provides scholarships to deserving student-athletes, helping them pursue their higher education goals. Additionally, we offer internships that help open doors for young professionals in the sporting goods industry, fostering a more inclusive and dynamic future for the field.
