Go-Long Scholarship Fund
Scholarship Sponsored by Greater Kansas City Community Foundation
About Go-Long
Go-Long was founded in 2002 by a group of friends who shared a passion for football and a desire to give back. Guided by the motto to give of oneself, live life to the fullest, and never give up, the team launched a yard work and neighborhood beautification business that donates 100% of its proceeds to the Go-Long Scholarship Fund. In addition to fundraising, the Go-Long volunteer team organizes neighborhood beautification projects that involve scholarship recipients and help generate support for future scholars.
