William'Swings Golf Tournament
Description
The WILLIAM’S WINGS Foundation is hosting its 5th Annual William’Swings Golf Tournament on Monday May 22nd, 2017 at Rush Creek Golf Club in Maple Grove, MN. We are requesting sponsorships (see attached for sponsorship levels) and silent auction donations for our event.
Our Story
Our beautiful, first born son, William Douglas Luecke was a perfectly healthy, happy, and outgoing boy. William passed away suddenly, at 8 ½ months old during a nap at daycare on February 27th, 2012. William brought joy to every person he met during his short life. His smile is unforgettable.
Our Mission
The mission of William’s Wings Foundation is to provide hope, healing, help and hopefully smiles again for families grieving the loss of a child. We want to help all families who face this horrific tragedy.
- To be a shoulder to lean on during a families most difficult time after experiencing loss.
- To be an avenue of resources when a family doesn’t know which way to turn.
- To provide support for organizations who conduct research, education, and informational activities related to sudden unexpected infant deaths.
- To advocate for the health and survival of all children.
Accomplishments
In 2015, an Angel of Hope statue was erected near downtown Chanhassen by William’s Wings as a place to remember and find healing for any family experiencing the loss of a child. William’s Wings has partnered with Faith’s Lodge, a place where families who have experienced the loss of a child can retreat to reflect on the past, renew strength and hope and faith for the future. In 2016, the first SIDS-centered weekends took place at Faith’s Lodge, fully sponsored by William’s Wings. William’s Wings supports Hope for the Mourning, this organization sends a care package of books, gift certificates and other resources to families in their most immediate time of need, soon after the loss of a child. In 2016 William’s Wings partnered with Babies Need Boxes, and organization providing supplies and a safe sleep environment to newborns. It is rewarding to see what this organization has done with our support. In 2016 every baby leaving Ridgeview Medical in Waconia, MN received a SleepSack courtesy of William’s Wings. The SleepSack helps keep babies comfortable in a safe manner for sleeping.
