“But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.”

Matthew 18:6

What is GOTCHA?

Founded by Dave Graybill GOTCHA is a team of philanthropic individuals on a mission to inspire Americans to “Get Off The Couch & Heal America” (GOTCHA). It is the goal of GOTCHA to have Americans be more aware and involved in the needs of the people in their own community, city, state, and country. Each year GOTCHA will bring a new initiative as a project worthy of attention. In 2023 this group of inspirational individuals has chosen to raise awareness and fund solutions to Stop Human Trafficking in America. The key to this initiative is to stop the trafficking at the source in addition to helping those who have been affected.

Dave has been a part of the non-profit world for nearly 20 years. His non-profit has grown to over 200 vehicles operating nationally and runs 100% on volunteerism. The breakdown in the non-profit world is in the ability of a donor to trust that their donated dollar goes to the intended area of need. A secondary area of focus for the GOTCHA Project is to reduce the misappropriation of funds that donors so freely give to charity. GOTCHA has access to proprietary technology to account for every dollar in, and every dollar out, tracking it to the end user. Accountability in the non-profit space has just become mandatory – GOTCHA!

Welcome to the 2023 GOTCHA Project!

This year’s event is a cross-country motorcycle ride to inspire communities and leaders to take action against the horrific practice of human trafficking. Funds raised from this auspicious event will support charitable organizations working to stop the epidemic of Human Trafficking in America such as Operation Underground Railroad (O.U.R.), Deliver Fund, Unbound Now, and the Tim Tebow Foundation. We support organizations that are willing to go the distance to eliminate the traffickers, assist in rescuing children from slavery, ensure ongoing aftercare, provide cutting edge tools and resources to U.S. law enforcement throughout the United States, while strengthening preventative efforts that benefit at-risk children worldwide.

Gary Cochran

Driver

My name is Gary Cochran, I am the Fire Chief for the Sansom Park Fire Department in the North Texas Region of the state. I am a current team member of the greatest group of individuals that have left their jobs and families for weeks and months at a time to travel across the country loving people. I am honored and proud to be part of the PINK HEALS family.
I was blessed in 2008, when I met Dave Graybill for the first time when he was traveling through the great State of Texas. Since that day, I have become very appreciative for what he has done across the nation to give up his time, his family, and his money to help others and love others. Dave is a true leader in my eyes.
I am so excited again, to be part of an awesome experience of traveling with old and new friends across the country to raise money for the individuals who have and are suffering from this horrible crime of human trafficking. Being able to meet people out on the tour and seeing how the “Gotcha Project” will make a difference in so many lives, is another Dave Graybill dream that will be coming true soon.
September, hurry up and get here so we can ride and do for others to help stop this human trafficking from shattering anyone else’s life. Let’s Ride!!!!

Jeff Hawkins

Driver

Jeff Hawkins, a career firefighter from Bedford, Texas. Married for almost 32 years with one daughter who is an ER nurse. In our line of work, we have the potential to deal with the victims of trafficking. Anything we can do to raise awareness and/or funds to fight human trafficking is a win. I have worked with Dave on several of his other projects and admire his huge heart and passion for people. It’s my pleasure to join him and the others in this fight. 

Tammy & Steve

Driver

Nothing goes unturned with this Dynamic Duo. Tammy and Steve have made an impact in many areas during their 27 years time together, starting with their four children. As parents, the couple has helped each of their children excel in their own careers by showing an abundant amount of love and support.
Within their community, Tammy and Steve have placed a hand on many hearts through a non-profit organization called Pink Heals. They have traveled all over Texas and the United States to show love to those in need- specifically those impacted by illnesses.
Before Steve entered retirement in March 2022, Steve worked as a firefighter and a paramedic for 17 years. He now is the owner of a pool company with many happy customers in the East Texas area.
The couple makes time to travel, renovate their forever-home in East Texas, cruise in classic Volkswagens, jeep excursions and spend quality time with their family.
Because of their love for their own children and grand children, the urge to put an end to child trafficking grew tremendously. Hearing stories from those who have experienced trafficking first-hand catapulted this passion, which lead Tammy and Steve to join the movement.

Seth R Kallick

Driver

Mr. Kallick has dedicated his life to serving his communities, beginning as a volunteer firefighter in South Central Wisconsin in the late 1970s and later advancing to Fire Captain, Paramedic, and Fire Investigator at Bella Vista Fire and EMS in Northwest Arkansas, where he worked for 32 years. In addition to his fire service career, he also owned and operated a structural repair and contracting business in Northwest Arkansas. Currently, he serves as the Risk Reduction Building Inspection Supervisor for the city of Lowell, Arkansas.

Mr. Kallick is also an active supporter of charitable organizations, including the Pink Heals Tour and Patriots God and Country group, and is proud to join THE GOTCHA PROJECT, which supports a group fighting human trafficking. He believes that raising funds for a group that assists law enforcement agencies in finding and returning victims to their families is a great honor and encourages others to support this cause. Mr. Kallick’s greatest treasures are his wife of 31 years, Diane, and his five children and six grandchildren.

James Edge

Biker

James Edge from N. Myrtle Beach, SC. Currently lives in Conway, SC.

Family: Wife Deon. Married for 15 years and have known one another for 39. We have four children and two grandchildren. Our oldest child works with a Sheriff’s dept. in NC, the youngest is an active member of the Civil Air Patrol.

Career: Retired Firefighter/EMT, Assistant Fire Chief of 33 years. Also retired as Master Sargent (Asst. Fire Chief) with the S.C. Air National Guard of 24 years. As Asst. Chief, I was able to be a part of building and developing a brand-new Fire Department. The department was so new that the fire engines showed up and the Fire Chief had not even been hired yet.

I’m involved with the GOTCHA Project because I believe in the cause and I want to help. As far back as I can remember, even to my elementary school days, I’ve always wanted to help people. I guess that may have had something to do with my choice of careers.

 

Gee Whiz Information: I like to dabble with music and DJ’ing, mostly 70’s and 80’s stuff. Though not so much DJ’ing any more but I still like it.
