SCRIBA, NY – The inaugural Garrett Dunsmoor Memorial Fundraiser will take place from 2 to 8 p.m. on July 20 at “Lake Elizabeth,” 779 County Route 53, to honor the memory of Garrett Dunsmoor.
“G-Man” was a vibrant 22-year-old from Oswego who lost his life in a tragic accident while traveling in Europe last summer.
Garrett was a smart, funny, kind and humble young man who was passionate about education, athletics, music, film and social issues.
In an effort to continue Garrett’s legacy the Garrett Dunsmoor Memorial Foundation was established to enrich the lives and invest in the future of youth in and around the Oswego Community.
Garrett graduated Cum Laude from St. Lawrence University with a double major in Communications and Business. He played two years of varsity football and four years of varsity lacrosse.
Garrett graduated from Oswego High School where he was a proud Buccaneer, a three-sport athlete and a high honor student. His warm smile was constant and contagious.
He had an incredible gift of impacting everyone he met.
The community is invited to join Garrett’s friends and family as we fundraise to support this important mission for the Garrett Dunsmoor Memorial Foundation.
Tickets to the event are $40 and free for children five and youngrt.

Live music will be provided by The Billionaires, Bryan Syrell, PK Experience, The Royals and Cam Caruso/Gary Carpentier. The Dance Hall Doctor will DJ the event.
