An idea that started out with three friends at dinner turned into a non-profit organization that now brings together gentlemen wanting to do good and charities benefiting from their goodwill.
Gentleman’s League Founders Edwin Suarez, Jason Frederico, and Paul Gaudet wanted to build a better community through philanthropy. They recruited businessmen that cared about making a difference to create the nonprofit, which now consists of more than 20 members that assist local foundations with fundraising while enjoying the camaraderie of each other.
The league meets monthly to plan its fundraisers – such as golf, poker, wheelchair basketball, and paintball tournaments – and decide who they will donate to each year. Through the group’s efforts, they have supported Olive Crest, Semper Fi Fund, Nevada Partnership for Homeless Youth, Easterseals Nevada, Children’s Heart Foundation, U.S. VETS-Las Vegas, Heroes in the Rough, Paralympic Sport Club, Paralyzed Veterans of America, Nevada Childhood Cancer Foundation, and Vegas Golden Chariots.
Those interested in becoming a member and making a difference can contact the Gentleman’s League through its website www.tgllv.org.
