About the Mulliganeers
Mission Statement
The Mulliganeers is a non-profit organization dedicated to raising funds for children and families in need. The main method of our fundraising is through our annual St. Patrick’s Fundraiser in March, annual Golf Outing in September, and associated fundraising events throughout the year. Recipients of charitable donations generated by the Mulliganeers are determined annually by the Board of Directors and may vary from year to year. The recipients, however, are ALWAYS children.
History
Mulliganeers was formed several years ago by a group of long time friends who would hear different tragic stories involving children. Although many times they would individually offer financial assistance to the family in need, they knew that collectively they could accomplish so much more. Thus, Mulliganeers was formed. The Board of Directors and Committee Members of Mulliganeers are all volunteers. Most services are donated (as are most of the products and prizes) and due to generous contributions, Mulliganeers is able to keep their costs to the bare minimum. These professional men and women are willing to donate their time, talents and connections to this worthy cause. They are grateful for the many generous contributions made to Mulliganeers and recognize that collectively we all have been able to help children and their families in their time of need.
About The Families We Select
As the organized vehicle of your generous support, the Board of Directors takes the process of selecting and screening families very seriously. Each family that is selected must complete a rather extensive financial application prior to being submitted to the Board for approval. No family is ever approved before all the paperwork is completed and all the questions are answered to our satisfaction. We ask each potential family very specific questions about their total assets, insurance benefits, other benefits (such as Medicare or other public financial assistance), and a total list of all outstanding debts. Over the years we have learned that all these details will give us a much better overall picture of a family’s financial need. Unfortunately, not all families that apply to us are approved (sometimes it’s a really difficult decision). The families also sign a document with us that if their financial circumstances change, that any and all unused money be returned to us for other needy families.
Some thoughts on making a difference...
One hundred years from now it will not matter what kind of car I drove, what kind of house I lived in, how much money I had in my bank account, nor what my clothes looked like. But the world may be a little better because I was important in the life of a child.
