Dear Members:
I'm posting today on behalf of the United Special Sportsmen Alliance (USSA), a grassroots, non-profit organization based in Pittsville, WI, that coordinates with other organizations worldwide in fulfilling dream wishes for terminally ill and disabled children.
If you know of any severely ill or disabled youngsters that would like to go on a free hunting, fishing, camping or canoeing trip, please contact us, and we will try to fulfill the children's wish. Our goal is to turn no child away, regardless of illness or disability. We try to match each child to the adventure most appropriate to their desires and abilities, and have been fortunate enough to serve over 200 children so far.
We are also seeking guides, outfitters, lodge and preserve owners willing to donate their time and facilities to our cause, as well as
individual memberships to help us with fund our children's trips. We are a 501(3)(C) charity (i.e. all donations are tax deductible), and no one in our organization accepts financial compensation of any kind for the work we do. We also partner with many other similar charities such as Fishing Without Boundaries and SCI Safari Wish, among others.
For more information, please contact me at (847) 676-8424, or USSA's founder and president Brigid O'Donoghue at (800) 518-8019. Our current web site is located a www.deerfood.com, and is being re-designed and relocated to www.childswish.com, thanks to the generosity of Steve Huber at OutdoorFrontiers.com.
Thank you for your time and consideration, and best of luck in the field this season.
