In 1998 the SFL board of directors formalized the Ski for Light Endowment Fund. The purpose of the fund is to insure the long-term financial viability of SFL and to help make each annual event affordable for all.
Members of our SFL family have made individual contributions to the endowment fund or have donated proceeds from fund raising activities which they, themselves, have organized in their cities or neighborhoods. We are grateful for all donations, both great and small. Sooner or later, little pennies turn into big dollars.
Our SFL family has recently lost its founding father, Olav Pedersen. He started out with a dream and a silver dollar, which has evolved over 30 years into the magical adventure we call Ski For Light. A designated contribution to the SFL endowment fund would be a fitting way to perpetuate the memory of a beloved and courageous dreamer, as well as the continuing success of his realized dream.
We are also on the lookout for funding sources outside of the SFL family who provide endowment funds to non profit organizations and who are interested in supporting our particular mission. Please refer contact information for any possible funding source to a member of the endowment committee: Suzanne Brown, Marion Elmquist, Bud Keith, Diane Brunswick or Mike Cain.
Once again, our SFL motto says it all-"If we can do this, we can do anything."
