Where It Started

The GFPA kicked off with a dinner for the 1995 national championship team, 30 years later, in honor of the late Don Read.

The next day the guys tailgated together, then walked onto the field before the UND game in front of more than 26,000 fans.

By the Players. For the Kids.

Year one of the Griz Football Youth Camp sold out. Kids in grades K through 6 spent the day running drills with current Griz players and Griz legends, and every dollar went straight to the athletes.

With Griz Football, MT Party Bus, Aspen Sound, ESPN Montana, My Montana Roots, Zing Metrics and Press Box.
