ABOUT THE CHARITY
The Gray Academy is a non-profit, non-public TK-8 school founded in 2018 by Kristen and Gordon Gray in Santa Monica whose program is structured to meet both the high-level and complex special education needs as well as the therapy needs of their students all in one location. The school is filling a gap in the traditional school environment that does not meet these medically fragile children's complex needs.
Dana Tompkins, a local mom of a young son with cerebral palsy, brought the wonderful program at The Gray Academy to Orange County in 2023 to serve our local children with complex medical needs who so desperately need it.
On Sunday, June 2, The Gray Academy Orange County is hosting our second annual Play for Gray Charity Pickleball Tournament at The Newport Beach Tennis & Pickleball Club. Join us for a fun day of pickleball play, free food and drink, silent auction and more all in support of the kids of The Gray Academy Orange County!
