Goalkeepers for the Greater Good

William McEntee

Sgt. William McEntee

DKGK Academy began GK4GG back in 2006 to raise money for the Backstoppers. Started in 1959, The BackStoppers provides needed support and financial assistance to the spouses and children of all local and county police officers, firefighters, publicly-funded paramedics and EMTs and volunteer fire protection units, who have lost their lives performing their duty.

Duane played soccer at DuBourg with Mike McEntee, brother of William McEntee, who was killed in the line of duty in Kirkwood in 2005. GK4GG hopes to help students at Duane's Goalkeeping Academy learn the importance of giving back to the community in which they live, just as Sergeant William McEntee had done. The last few years DKGK Academy has put on "fun"draisers on Thanksgiving morning and Boxing Day (December 26th). Stay tuned for upcoming events.
