$7,500 DONATED TO FOREST LAKE AREA SCHOOLS COMMUNITY EDUCATION

Many kids have a desire to participate in sports and other experiential activities. Not every family has the means to afford them.

They need donations to do that. The $4,000 that we’re excited to share with this organization will allow 40 kids in the NE Metro to participate in any district offered activity, including the supplies they need.

Along with therapy rooms and recreational space, a family suite is available so that families may stay together while enjoying a temporary get-away from the constant demands of care giving.

$7,500 DONATED TO SLEEP IN HEAVENLY PEACE

All children deserve a safe, comfortable place to lay their heads. Unfortunately, too many boys and girls go without a bed—or even a pillow—to sleep on. These children end up sleeping on couches, blankets, and even floors.

It’s addressing this need here in Minnesota (and in communities all over the US and Canada) by leveraging donations like ours and working with volunteers to build, assemble, and deliver topnotch bunk beds to children and families in need. Each bed comes with a mattress, pillow and bedding. With this years donation, we have donated a total of $20,000 to Sleep In Heavenly Peace!

$10,000 DONATED TO WINGS FOR LIFE

One terrible thing we know that occurs in the world of action sports, is that some participants suffer a severe spinal cord injury, resulting in paralysis. Paralysis was long considered permanent, but thanks to advances in research and technology, that view is changing. There is no cure yet, but current research proves that spinal cord repair and regeneration is possible. More and more scientists around the world are confident that a cure for paralysis in humans could be as close as ten to twenty years away. The goal of Wings for Life is to cure spinal cord injury. To do so, the foundation concentrates on supporting research only. 100% of donations supports world-class scientific research and clinical trials and vital new research programs, such as the RESET clinical trial, aimed at regenerating nerve fibers in individuals with chronic spinal cord injuries.
