🎄🏈 Carry Gaither’s Spirit of Giving Into Christmas 2026 🏈🎄Gaither’s Legacy of Giving: The 2026 Christmas Toy Drive — In Loving Memory of Gaither Parker III This Christmas, you can help honor Gaither Parker III through something close to his heart: bringing joy, hope, and Christmas magic to children and families throughout Southern Maryland. Pathways, Inc. and Focus Elite are joining together to continue that work in his memory. ❤️ To us, Gaither was family—a colleague, coach, mentor, and friend whose care for others shaped everything he did. For years, he was a dedicated member of both the Pathways and Focus Elite families, mentoring young people, coaching football, and supporting individuals in need. His annual cheesecake raffle raised money for the Focus Elite Christmas Toy Drive, turning something he loved into another opportunity to give back. Since 2019, Focus Elite’s Christmas Toy Drive has raised more than $55,000 to provide gifts and support to children, families, youth programs, residential programs, shelters, and other community organizations throughout Southern Maryland. Gaither took pride in being part of that mission, and his generosity helped brighten the holidays for so many. Though we miss him, we can carry his compassion, generosity, and commitment to others forward.
