Dave McGillivray Finish Strong Foundation

Our vision at the foundation is rooted in a belief that discovering a passion for physical activity, reading, and acts of kindness at a young age gives individuals self-confidence and self-respect. Interested in supporting this vision? You can donate here: loom.ly/jv2QzX0

We highly recommend checking out the book Rescue & Jessica: A Life-Changing Friendship by Jessica Kensky and Patrick Downes! This book is based on a real-life partnership and is a heartening story about the love and teamwork between a girl and her service dog.

Did you know that petting animals helps soothe both you and the animal mentally and physically? Next time you’re looking for a simple healthy movement idea, give your pet some extra love!

Accomplishing a goal is always a great feeling, and it’s also the best time to set your next bigger and better goal! Learn more about Dave: davemcgillivrayfoundation.org/who-we-are

There is still over a week left to get your grant application in before the deadline on February 1st! For more information on guidelines and the application process, visit our website here: davemcgillivrayfoundation.org/grants

Looking for the next book to add to your child’s reading list? Check out The Name Jar by Yangsook Choi. This story of self-acceptance and friendship will inspire your child to celebrate all that is unique about them and the other kids around them.

Next time you’re sitting down to watch your favorite show, think about implementing some healthy movement on commercial breaks to get your body moving! Movement as simple as stretching can still make a huge difference in how your body feels and functions.
