We exist to make life fun again by providing safe, inclusive, and cost-free educational and recreational activities that bring people together, strengthen mental health, and offer hope to children and families in our community.

People ARE Greater than Money was born from both heartbreak and hope — from the understanding that life should never come with a price tag, and that no one should lose someone they love because the world made it too hard to find joy or support.

After experiencing personal loss connected to mental health struggles, we saw just how many people — especially children and teens — are silently hurting. In rural communities like Payson, opportunities to connect, play, and heal are limited, and most come with a cost many families can’t afford. Too often, this lack of access leads to isolation, hopelessness, and preventable tragedies.

That pain turned into purpose.

PGTM was created to make life fun again — to remind people that happiness, learning, and belonging should never depend on money. We provide free, safe, and inclusive educational and recreational opportunities that bring people together, nurture mental well-being, and offer hope to families who need it most.

Through every event, every smile, and every shared moment, we honor those we’ve lost by building something better — a community where children grow up supported, connected, and reminded that their lives have value.

Because at the heart of everything we do is a simple truth: People ARE Greater than Money.
