CONSISTENTLY SUCCESSFUL!
As the Buddy Fund approaches a half century of sustained success, our mutual efforts have once again helped thousands of local kids deal with the limitations and risks of poverty, and to become successful student athletes.
Sports participation remains a primary source of character development for youngsters … especially those growing up in potentially harmful and challenging environments.
In 2008, with your help, we shipped new, safe, quality sports equipment valued at $85,000 to organizations helping thousands of St. Louis kids !
(2009 results will be available in Jan 2010)
Of great significance, 93+% of funds received go to our mission. Our 100% volunteer staff enables such efficient use of your supporting dollars.
Each of the 38+ organizations receiving Buddy Fund sports equipment (listed below) offer a very special thanks to those who help make this vital community support possible. Your support is so vital!
