ABOUT US
Sometimes, it seems like everyone knew Gary Haggart. He was friendly, funny, and full of big ideas – with creativity and can-do spirit to match.
Whether through his storied career with Shelter of Flint and Big Brothers/Big Sisters, his dedication to downtown Flint development, his efforts to raise funds for a worthy cause, help a neighbor with a project, befriend a down-and-out homeless guy, or guide a teen through a tough time, Gary touched a lot of lives in our community.
​
When he died late in 2014, he left a big void. But, inspired by his life, his many friends were motivated to continue the good works for which he was known.
And the Gary Haggart Club was launched.
Tracy Bessert has been married to Ryan for 12 years. They have 2 beautiful daughters. She was an educator and is so grateful to work with such an amazing group and give back to the community.
