Gary Thrapp, local business owner of G. Thrapp Jewelers and longtime friend to the Simon Youth Foundation, was shot during a robbery at home just after midnight on Sunday, September 16, 2012. All of us at Simon Youth Foundation are keeping Gary in our thoughts as he moves toward recovery.
Gary and his wife invited friends to make donations to the Foundation in lieu of sending flowers to the family. This generous gesture is indicative of the friendship and support the Thrapp family has shared with SYF for many years. Even in his own time of need, Gary is igniting hope for students once at risk of dropping out of high school.
The philanthropic relationships we share with our donors are unique to each person. At SYF, we are often humbled and surprised at the many ways in which our donors connect with us. We are so grateful to the Thrapp family now and always.
G. Thrapp Jewelers is posting regular updates regarding Gary’s recovery on the G. Thrapp Jewelers' facebook page. Please join us in sharing best wishes with the Thrapp family for Gary’s swift and full recovery.
