The Get To Foundation was established following the tragic death of Benjamin Jones in 2020, a former Michigan high school and collegiate student-athlete and head coach of the Cranbrook-Kingswood varsity football team. Ben lived by his “Get To” motto, challenging others to consider obstacles as opportunities and adopt a “get to” versus a “have to” mentality. He used to tell his players and teammates, “We get to play football today!” when they complained about practice.

We are looking to expand our scholarship program and spread Ben’s message by awarding up to 16 renewable scholarships to qualifying seniors in Michigan.
