the trenches working to help the betterment of La Pine.
We help with grant writing and fundraising. We are using our life experiences and education from the
Ford Leadership program to help with strategic planning, building a mission and vision statement.
Sharing our knowledge and expertise with those looking for help.
We are working on the 10 year plan to end Homelessness in La Pine. We are working on an emergency
shelter in La Pine, a community pool, possible collaboration with the Lions club on a special project for
Parks & Rec. and we work with Project to End Poverty on The Faith Based Network, just to name a few
of our current activities.
2. We are working on 2 community fundraisers. "La Pine Rocks 5k walk/10k run & 50 mile bike
ride". This is the second annual event. We are trying to draw people from Bend, Eugene and
Portland to see the beauty that we have to offer here. We just got our race sanctioned which
should help with enthusiasm for the event. The funds raised by the event will go to Parks & Rec
Foundation, Boosters, Track & Field, Kempo, & La Pine Community Kitchen. These
organizations are all involved in helping with the event and except for the Kitchen, are all for
children's programs in La Pine that need financial support. We are also doing a Fishing Derby
that is still in the process of production. This fundraiser will also be for a few other
organizations that benefit children in La Pine.
3. La Pine Rocks Fishing Derby is 7/16/11 & La Pine Rocks walk/run & Bike is 7/23/11
4. The organizations that will benefit from these funds are all struggling financially due to the high
unemployment rate in La Pine . These fundraisers will help sustain these organizations for an
extended period of time. And the Park Foundation is a start up organization, so it will just give
them a boost.
5. Mostly school aged children and hungry and homeless population will benefit from these
fundraisers.
6. Proposed budgets for both events are attached.
We have been accepted by Sagebrush Inc. for a matching grant. We are using that grant for any
La Pine nonprofit to work under our umbrella to receive matching grant funds. So the matching
funds raised from our 2 fundraisers will be used for our 2 events next year. The funds raised by
the events before the matching grant will go to the organizations stated above.
