🎁 About Noah's Gift

Noah's Gift is dedicated to bringing joy into the lives of young people, as Noah brought joy to the lives of so many. Noah's Gift was created to inspire and reward deserving young people with the gift of an extraordinary experience that was of interest to 16-year-old Noah Costa at the time of his death.

• Interests: Noah's interests were as wide-ranging and fun as his personality: playing hockey, traveling, hiking, water sports, skydiving, and much more.
• Grants: Noah's Gift makes grants to deserving teenagers to pursue extraordinary experiences.
• Support: These grants are made possible through sponsors and participants of our annual fundraiser.
• Event: Noah's Gift 5K Run-Walk-Skate held in Noah's memory.
