About Shine Like the Sun
We've created this page and organization in loving memory of our Zane. To help start conversations about people we love who are in pain and what we can do. And to help support the Gunn Wrestling program that he drew so much strength from.
Shine Like the Sun?
Often on the way home from wrestling practices or back from the beach, Zane & I would often listen to Shine On You Crazy Diamond. It was one of his favorites. And he loved so many kinds of music. We've named this foundation after the opening line. Give it a listen if you haven't heard it.
What Will Happen With Your Donations
I can't thank you all enough for your outpouring of love for my family and for your support for Shine Like The Sun. Here are some details of where the funds will go now that I've talked with Coach Horpel, the wrestling coach at Gunn High School here in Palo Alto.
- 100% of the funds raised will be donated to the Gunn Sports Boosters - Wrestling Program
- With your generous donations, I've already raised the $2,500 the team needs for equipment each year!!!
- Now I'm looking to add to the $20,000 the team needs to raise outside of other donations to buy three more wrestling mats to host an annual tournament
- I'll keep at this and help whittle that number down bit by bit in Zane's memory
