WHAT IS HOCKEY COACHES CARE?
Since 2005, Hockey Coaches Care is an organization committed to helping members of the amateur hockey community in times of need, as well as organizations within the amateur hockey community that seek to serve the best interests of its members.
Funding for Hockey Coaches Care, a tax-exempt, 501 (c) (3) organization incorporated in the state of Maine, comes from a wide range of individuals and organizations. A portion of the start-up funding for Hockey Coaches Care came from the Shawn Walsh Foundation, a fund set up to honor the late University of Maine head coach. Hockey Coaches Care will consider applications for grants twice a year, with individual and organizational awards (capped at $6,000) issued in May and November of each year.
HOW HAVE PEOPLE CONTRIBUTED?
Colleges have given proceeds from "50-50" raffles and from inter-squad games; "Friends" groups and individuals have simply written checks. Donations have been made to memorialize loved ones. There is no standard way to give.
