Welcome to "Grobanites for Charity" (GFC)!
We are a dedicated group of volunteers who have
banded together with thousands of Josh Groban fans all over the
world to support a variety of charitable causes. Our main focus
is to raise money for The Josh Groban Foundation, which supports
children in need around the world through contributions to the arts,
education and healthcare. Josh's fans have already raised over $700,000
for his Foundation through on-line auctions, donations and fundraisers
at fan gatherings.
GFC is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization which
is run by volunteers. All of our operating costs are donated by
GFC supporters so that 100% of your donations (beyond the costs
of the on-line transaction fees and merchandise costs) go directly
to the charities we support.
GFA (Grobanites for Africa) is a sub-team within
GFC that focuses specifically on projects for Africa. You can visit
the GFA website at www.grobanitesforafrica.org.
Tender Totes and Heavenly Dreams is a sub-team within
GFC that makes Totes, Pillowcases, Dolls and Beanies for Shriner
and Children's hospitals. For more information on these projects,
