Donate to a Scholarship Fund
Over the years, many generous people have touched the lives of our students by supporting High Hopes. Some have gone even further—creating scholarships to honor loved ones and help others on their path to recovery. Their kindness continues to change lives every day. If you’d like to contribute to one of these special funds, you can do so here:
Marshall Grossman
Marshall K. Grossman, Doctor, of Orange County California, passed away on December 20, 2021 after complications from a heart attack. He will now continue his loving care of family, friends and patients in a different realm as a Guardian Angel.
Marshall was passionate about his calling as a Doctor. His caring and loving demeanor was evident to all who knew him. Dr. Marshall Grossman was significantly involved with Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois for decades. He proudly served as a Board Member of the 240,00 member Northwestern Alumni Association and was instrumental in creating the First NAA Conference outside the Chicago area held in Newport Beach.
Marshall was a long-time board member of High Hopes, a charitable organization based in Tustin, California, that provides assistance and rehabilitation to brain-injured individuals.
Even though his heart gave out on him too early for us, it was well used for loving and caring for; family, friends, and patients. He will be greatly missed. In honor of Marshall’s memory and and to honor his love of helping people, High Hopes has set up a scholarship in his name. Below, you can sponsor a student or just support the Marshall K. Grossman M.D. Scholarship.
Paul Partyke

Tom White
Motorcycle hall of famer, entrepreneur and motocross-museum operator Tom White died at age 68 after a battle with cancer on Thursday, Nov. 2, surrounded by family members and some of his favorite motorcycles. The Villa Park resident was a renowned racer and announcer, and a runaway success in the business world.
After his son Brad suffered a traumatic brain injury, White and his brother sold the business; he wanted to spend more time with his family.
White turned part of his Villa Park property into the Early Years of Motocross Museum, which today has nearly 200 bikes from the 20th century. White used the museum to raise funds for the High Hopes Head Injury Program, and opened his doors every Thanksgiving to welcome active-duty guests as part of Villa Park’s Marine Thanksgiving.
