Thank you to trioKAIT for coming to Atascadero for a benefit concert to support the AHS Jazz Band!

Thirty-four Atascadero High School jazz musicians look forward to traveling to the Reno Jazz Festival to compete, attend clinics and watch performances by the top college and high school jazz bands from throughout the Western U.S. Funds raised will help cover transportation, registration fees and lodging for all students.

Under the direction of Nate Conrad, these musicians and the programs at Atascadero High School have blossomed. Mr. Conrad doesn't just let them play the notes on the page; he teaches the history, culture and theory behind the music, creating young musicians and lifetime music lovers.

AHS Band families have sold barbecue tickets, put on their winter concert, sold restaurant coupons and concessions at school events. They continue to fundraise locally to make sure every member is able to join in the music, fun and experience of a lifetime.

Please consider contributing to the cause so no jazz band member is left behind.

Congratulations to E.J. Rossi and his daughter Tobi for the successful campaign to raise money for the Atascadero Unified School District 6th grade mentorship program. Together, as community star dancers in the Friends of Atascadero Library's Dancing With Our Stars, they raised more than $50,000 and won the "People's Choice" award all three nights of the competition!

Hats off to all the dancers, community groups, and thanks to Jeannie Malik, Frank Sanchez, Grenda Ernst, and Linda Zirk for putting on a fantastic community show!

About us

The Atascadero Greyhound Foundation has been serving the Atascadero community for more than 20 years, gradually adding more events that serve its mission. The Atascadero Greyhound Foundation is proud of its motto "Doing what's best for kids," and our efforts have made that motto a reality.

We have four big events throughout the year, and support the LIGHTHOUSE committee and the Committee for Atascadero Public Schools, which provide for the kids in the Atascadero Unified School District in different ways.

Please visit the various websites for each event and committee to see more about our organization.

Our Story.

The Atascadero Greyhound Foundation was founded in 1994 as the Greyhound Athletic Foundation to fund facilities and programs for students at Atascadero High School. We succeeded in coordinating the construction of an all-weather track, snack bar, and restrooms at Atascadero High School as part of a $1.5 million renovation.

We have grown, and continue to give because of the generous donors, sponsors and participants of our events. The majority of our support comes from donors and sponsors. Our events are a benefit to the community in healthy activity — either athletically, musically, educationally, or in the fight against addiction.
