About Gulls Give
Great communities and teams are built on the principles of teamwork. Our foundation was formed to create a community within a community, aiming to make a difference in vulnerable populations. Whether it big or small we aim to make a difference.
Jennifer & Graham Schetzsle
From the very beginning, the Sylvan Lake Gulls have been committed to making a difference in Central Alberta by supporting and uplifting those who need it most. In 2019, Graham and Jennifer Schetzsle introduced the Gulls baseball team and, alongside it, founded the Gulls Give Foundation with the vision of giving back in ways that truly matter.
Through partnerships with organizations that share our values, we focus on programs that bring real impact to our communities.
Thanks to the generosity of Gulls fans, players, our Board of Directors, and the H4 Sports Entertainment Investor group, the Foundation continues to reinvest in Central Alberta. Our finances are managed with care and reviewed each year to ensure funds are directed toward meaningful projects that help our community thrive.
