In addition, we are raising funds for the Brain Support Network. This organization was selected by Gavin's wife, Sandra, and has special meaning to the family. WCGT founder Gavin Coffing passed away in late 2020 from complications of progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), a neurodegenerative disorder that has no known cause or cure. His brain was donated to the Network for research in an effort to help current and future patients with PSP.
