Dear GCF Friends,

This is our 27th Anniversary Gala, a celebration of impact, resilience, and community.

This is your perfect opportunity for a meaningful night out with friends, family, or colleagues. But more importantly, every ticket purchased helps us continue empowering families and expanding access to healthcare and education in Haiti through Klinik Fonfrèd and our programs.

Gaskov Clergé was a man with a zest for life who lived every moment to the fullest. Born in Les Cayes, a coastal city located on the southern tip of Haiti, he was quick to laugh, but was serious in his dedication to helping others. He was an intellectual with a great love of science and a champion soccer player. He was deeply committed to his family, his roots, and the people of Haiti.
After beginning his education in Haiti, Gaskov’s intellectual drive led him to the United States. Here, he earned his Bachelor of Science in Agronomy and then a Master’s in Microbiology from Howard University. He was a Ph.D. candidate in Food Microbiology at Howard, doing research for the FDA when, on March 7, 1999, he died suddenly and unexpectedly from liver cancer. He was just 39 years old.
Gaskov’s sudden passing left many mourning hearts. His superior academic achievements, exemplary sportsmanship and his love for so many people, regardless of their racial, cultural and economic background are Gaskov’s legacy.
The Gaskov Clergé Foundation was established by his family and friends to empower individuals in the areas of sports, education, health and life sciences—subjects that were Gaskov’s passions. This organization and the important work we achieve are a testament to Gaskov’s incredible, multifaceted life.

GCF HISTORY

Since 1999, GCF’s medical missions became the main source of medical care for many who can’t afford to see a doctor. Until 2015, GCF led many medical and relief missions that offered free health care and medication to an average of 2,000 under served patients in the region, many of whom traveled from the most remote areas. We have provided financial assistance for several life-saving surgeries in Haiti and we are now operating Klinik Fonfred, a standard medical clinic in a rural community near Les Cayes, which features four exam rooms, a triage area, a dental clinic a lab, pharmacy and radiology room. The staff at Klinik Fonfred has fulfilled over 30,000 patient encounters since its inception in 2015.
Dear Friends, Partners, and Supporters,
In 2025, we continued to translate commitment into measurable impact across the communities we serve.
Klinik Fonfred provided more than 31,000 medical consultations throughout the Grand Sud, with women representing 67% of patients and children nearly one third of those served, underscoring our critical role in supporting families and the next generation. Since our founding, we have delivered over 140,000 medical consultations, reflecting sustained and growing access to care.
Beyond access, we remain focused on continuity of care.
