The Gregg Gilder Memorial Firewalk

Gregg Gilder worked alongside and with Common Ground for many years. He helped to expand youth programming to kids and especially at-risk youth. He was instrumental in the very first Firewalk held at Common Ground. His love for Common Ground and the community it serves left a legacy we seek to honor every year with the Gregg Gilder Memorial Firewalk.
