Forever Jimmy G Foundation Launches to Honor Legacy of Tejano Icon Jimmy Gonzalez

The family and supporters of late Tejano music legend Jimmy Gonzalez have proudly announced the launch of the Forever Jimmy G Non-Profit Foundation, a heartfelt tribute to the Grammy Award-winning artist’s extraordinary life, groundbreaking music, and enduring generosity.

Founded in honor of the beloved co-founder of Grupo Mazz, the Forever Jimmy G Foundation seeks to carry on Gonzalez’s legacy by doing what he did best—bringing people together through the power of music. The foundation will host live performances celebrating Jimmy’s iconic four-decade career while supporting charitable efforts that uplift families and communities in need.

Music With a Mission

“Our mission is simple,” reads the foundation’s official statement, “to inspire generosity, unite communities, and honor Jimmy’s legacy—Forever Jimmy G.” The organization’s first initiative will support a local food bank to help ensure that families across the region don’t go without essential meals. Supporters are encouraged to get involved early as the foundation sets the stage for lasting impact.

An exciting announcement about the foundation’s first official charity event is expected soon, promising a celebration that fans and community members won’t want to miss.

A Legacy That Lives On

Jimmy Gonzalez’s influence on Tejano music is immeasurable. A pioneer since the late 1970s, Gonzalez co-founded Grupo Mazz with Joe Lopez in 1978. The duo revolutionized the genre with their blend of traditional Tejano sounds fused with pop, R&B, and rock influences. Gonzalez’s soulful voice, virtuoso guitar work, and masterful production helped define a sound that captivated generations of fans.

Throughout his legendary career, Gonzalez amassed eight Grammy Awards and countless accolades. Even after the original Grupo Mazz lineup parted ways, he continued performing and recording as Jimmy Gonzalez y Grupo Mazz, consistently delivering chart-topping hits until his passing in 2018.

Now, with the launch of the Forever Jimmy G Foundation, his spirit, music, and love for giving back will continue to resonate far beyond the stage. Donations can be made at Zeffy.com.
