The
ULLR Foundation is the philanthropic division of the ULLR Ski, Bike
& Social Club. Its mission is to raise money to provide
equipment and promote participation in skiing, biking, and other sports
for physically and mentally challenged individuals of all ages.
The
ULLR Foundation Board reports through the ULLR Ski, Bike & Social
Club Board, and its members include all ULLR members. The success
of the ULLR Foundation's fundraising activities is largely based on the
participation of all ski club members. A number of organizations
such as Courage Center, Hennepin Parks Handicap Program, Hearing
Impaired ski programs, and Wilderness Inquiry have benefited from ULLR
Foundation funds.
The
ULLR Foundation raises
charitable donations through various functions sponsored by the ULLR
Ski, Bike & Social Club. Current fundraising efforts include
bingo and raffles, providing bars and cakes at picnics, and selling MN
PGA Golf Cards. Board members welcome input and suggestions
about fundraising efforts.
Memorial donations to
the Foundation are much appreciated. This is a fine way to
remember our club friends, as well as other friends and
relatives. Honoring someone on Special Occasions, such as
birthdays, with a gift to the Foundation is a worthwhile, generous way
to show your appreciation for that person, as well as helping the lives
of others. Donations are a special way to honor or show
appreciation for someone at any time. Donations are tax deductible.
The
ULLR Foundation's Board membership consists of 12 to 17 interested ULLR
members who serve for an average of 3 years. Board member
responsibilities include attendance at ULLR Foundation Board meetings,
attendance at regular ULLR meetings, and, most importantly,
participation in Foundation fundraising events. Following the
normal 3-year term, a Board member can choose to extend for as long as
they wish.
If you are
interested in becoming an ULLR Foundation Board member, please contact
any current Board member (see listing below). We welcome your
interest in serving on the Board, and look forward to hearing from you.
