I put this together recently and thought I would post it here in case anybody wants to use it to solicit donations from companies etc.
You'll see that I changed A-Hulls to "PIF Committee" to make us sound a little more "professional"... :smt002 :smt005 :smt044
To whom it may concern,
Pay It Forward (PIF) was started in 2010 to help Joel “Mooch” Lotilla with the medical costs associated with his cancer diagnosis. PIF raises $ throughout the year in a variety of ways (Tournament registration fees, annual PIF Paddle and Party, personal donations, raffles etc).
Historically, PIF $ has gone to members of the NorCal Kayak Angler (NCKA) community battling cancer or other serious illness.
Since 2010, PIF has raised and donated over $100,000 to various member of the NCKA community.
Here is a breakdown of how much $ has been generated via PIF efforts over the years:
2010: $6,000
2011: $9,000
2012: $8,000
2013: $10,000
2014: $15,300
2015: $11,480
2016: $15,500
2017: $25,700 so far
The PIF committee will decide (with input from the NCKA community) who to donate PIF $ to.
Factors that are considered include:
-NCKA membership. PIF $ is for members of the NCKA family/community.
-Level of financial need. PIF $ is for NCKA members who need financial help to deal with cancer/serious illness.
-Status in the NCKA community. PIF $ ideally will go to positive, active members of the NCKA community. This is not a popularity contest, and sincere consideration is given to each potential recipient.
The PIF committee discusses each nomination, makes a decision and posts that decision and our rationale on the PIF forum.
This year’s annual Pay It Forward Paddle/Raffle/Potluck and party will be held on Saturday July 29th at Del Monte beach in Monterey, and we already have a Hobie 13 Quest kayak as the grand prize.

Apply for non-profit status? Companies would be more agreeable to donating, if so.
