About The SCOTTY Fund:

The SCOTTY Fund is a non-profit 501c3 charity that provides financial and family support to children with life-threatening and critical illnesses. The Fund began 25 years ago after three-year-old Scott Anderson lost his life to a rare childhood cancer. Over the past 25 years, the fund has provided almost two- million dollars to ill children and their families.

Scott was Gary's nephew.
