Christmas for Kids
Since 1992
Gullo Christmas for Kids started in 1992 with a goal of making life better for others. Every year 50-55 families are treated to a party with hamburgers, hotdogs and activities. One of these activities is a chance for each child to tell Santa what they want for Christmas. However, this is not all. Each family is then presented with a gift card, ham for Christmas dinner and a Christmas Tree and decorations.
Earning by Learning
Helping Students save
The giving does not stop with Christmas for Kids. The Earning By Learning program has been a huge success, and currently 5 Conroe ISD schools participate in this incentive program for 3rd graders. The program consists of children reading books for a six week period and they in turn earn $1 for every book read and report on. If they read 12 books in the six week time period, their money is doubled.
Gullo Scholarships
Awards of $2500
Another program that benefits students is the Gullo Dealerships Scholarship Program. Currently 12 public high schools in Montgomery County are a part of the program, which awards scholarships to students. Each scholarship is for $2,500 and we have been able to give out between 25-30 scholarships each year.
