The Gretta Ehret Dream Crazy Foundation honors the life and legacy of Margaretha “Gretta” Ehret—beloved mother, wife, sister, teacher, and coach—by carrying forward her unwavering strength, compassion, and “Dream Crazy” spirit. Rooted in Gretta’s deep love for sport, teamwork, and community, our mission is to inspire and uplift young athletes and families in the Philadelphia community and beyond.

Through programs that champion resilience, expand access to athletic opportunities, and empower youth through sports, we strive to reflect the same passion, grit, and generosity that defined Gretta’s life. We are committed to helping young athletes grow not only in their sport, but in confidence, character, and purpose.

In her name, we will continue to dream crazy, compete with heart, and make a lasting impact on the lives we touch—just as Gretta did every single day.
