CHARITIES
Nick will be using this epic adventure to raise money for 2 great charities, The Pink Fund and the Mike Daley Swim Fund.
The Pink Fund
The Pink Fund provides financial support to help meet basic needs, decrease stress levels and allow breast cancer patients in active treatment to focus on healing while improving survivorship outcomes. Our 90–day grant program allows us to meet their critical expenses for housing, transportation, utilities and insurance.
A breast cancer diagnosis can destroy the financial health and well-being of the patient and their family. While in active treatment, many patients are unable to work and experience a loss of income that can result in catastrophic financial losses and the need to rebuild financial health. The Pink Fund provides financial support to help meet basic needs, decrease stress levels and allow breast cancer patients to focus on healing while improving survivorship outcomes.
Mike Daley Swim Fund
The Mike Daley Swim Fund was recently established to provide increased access to swimming instruction and competitive opportunities to students and families that may otherwise lack access due to financial means. This fund seeks to address this through the utilization of funds in three areas:
Pre-Competitive Swimming Program - Resources would be used to develop, implement and support student participation in an age group swimming program that helps bridge the gap between the current Holland Community Aquatic Center Swim School programs and the MLA Swim Team.
Swim Lesson Scholarships - Provide resources to individual students who demonstrate interest and/or ability in developing swimming skills that would otherwise be limited due to financial ability. Students would be required to apply to obtain a scholarship and demonstrate a high level of commitment to participation.
MLA Scholarships - Provide resources to individual students who demonstrate interest and/or ability in competitive swimming but need financial assistance to participate in MLA team programs. Students are required to apply to obtain a scholarship and demonstrate a high level of commitment to participation.
