MONTEREY – Boys and girls from the Gilroy Community Youth Center were treated to a deep sea fishing trip on Saturday Aug. 29, thanks to a donation from the Jeff Garcia Pass It On Foundation.
The 32 participants, along with several chaperones, left Monterey’s Fisherman’s Wharf at 6 a.m. and completed the activity at 2 p.m.
For most of the individuals, the excursion was a once in a lifetime experience.
The deep sea fishing trip was originally planned through the efforts of Santa Clara County Supervisor Don Gage and the members of the Gilroy Gang Task Force.
Garcia, currently a quarterback on the Oakland Raiders, has made donations to many aspects of the community since his NFL career began in 1999.
