To help others and spread kindness like Gia! We will be funding projects to help those in need. We will be sponsoring events to help foster kindness, and we will be awarding a Cheerleading and Kindness Award each year at Westlake High School in her honor!
GiaSectionalsHOnor.MOVOur Beautiful Gia:
Gia Gentile was a brave and beautiful 14-year-old who passed away on March 9, 2025, after a courageous nine-year fight with Neuroblastoma.
This page was created to keep her memory and legacy alive.
To know Gia was to love her. She radiated warmth, compassion, and an unwavering joy for life. Even in the face of daily challenges, Gia chose optimism. She was the first to offer a helping hand, the one who made sure no one ever felt left out, and a girl whose empathy ran deep. Her heart was pure gold — respectful, loving, generous, and endlessly kind.
Gia loved to laugh, sing, dance, create art, make bracelets, cheer, and spend time with her family and friends. She brought color, connection, and happiness wherever she went.
Gia’s legacy is one of love, inclusion, and kindness — and we are committed to keeping that legacy alive. One way we hope to honor her is by continuing to spread the values she lived by every single day and encouraging others to Live Like Gia.
