The Exec Foundation, Inc.
Annual Report
October 2008 - September 2009
Mary Dibble

 
   Several hockey and charitable organizations ask for grant 
applications to request money for their activities and/ or 
particular needs. Sometimes these organizations help our booster 
club members sell 50/50 raffle tickets. The Exec Foundation's 
main source of income is 40% of the booster club's share of the 
50/50 raffle tickets sold at Amerks home games. This was the 
second year the Exec Foundation received additional money from 
the Nancy Milliman Award, which is money based on certain 
achievements by Amerks players throughout the season, such as hat 
tricks, shutouts and four points earned by a defenseman. The 
total income for this year was $696 less than last year, mostly 
due to poor attendance at Amerks games and not enough people 
buying raffle tickets. Therefore some donations to organizations 
were much less than in previous years.

   The Exec Foundation Directors try to maintain for the year a 
60/40 percentage split between hockey and charity donations, with 
the 60% going towards hockey. This past year the donations were 
55% for hockey and 45% for charity, which were 5% less for hockey 
and 5% more for charity. The Exec Foundation gave donations to 
seven hockey organizations (four new ones) and to six charity 
organizations (one new one) was $750 less than last year when the 
donations went to six hockey and seven charity organizations. 
Hockey donations this year were given to Spencerport Hockey 
Booster Club, Monroe County Youth Hockey Squirt 2B, Monroe County 
Youth Hockey Mite A-1 Eagles, Monroe County Youth Hockey Travel 
Mites, Aquinas Hockey, Greece Thunder Hockey Booster Club and the 
'98 Rochester Alliance. Charity donations were given to CURE 
Childhood Cancer Association, Ronald McDonald House Charities of 
Rochester, N.Y., School of the Holy Childhood, St.Joseph's Villa, 
Arc Foundation of Monroe and Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. The 
grand total spent was $773 less than the previous year.

application for a monetary donation from the Exec Foundation by
