National Football Foundation

After getting his bachelor’s and master’s in education from Washington State University, Gery Gehrmann spent 34 years as a teacher and coach. His passion for coaching football carried him to greater heights, coaching at a community college, at the NAIA level and in the World Football League. Gery served as the National Director of Youth Fitness Program for the Nautilus Company.
 
In 1991, Gehrmann founded the Clark County Chapter of the National Football Foundation. The chapter annually stages the largest one-day pro-am golf tournament in the Northwest and awards an impressive $10,000 purse to the top finishing professional. The event helped raise over $100,000 in scholarships in the first ten years.
