Frederickson Fund donates to NV-YMCA Annual Campaign & Kiwanis bike helmet program

News

May 7th, 2024 by Ric Hanson

(Atlantic, Iowa) – The Trevor Frederickson Memorial Fund recently donated to the Nishna Valley Family YMCA’s Annual Campaign.  The money donated helps with membership scholarships, aquatic activities, after school services for kids, facility upgrades and much more.  The fund also donated to the Kiwanis bike helmet program.  This program holds a special place in our heart as Trevor was one of the first helmet recipients back when the Kiwanis group started this program.

Fund spokesperson (Trevor’s mom) Melanie Petty, said “Our mission as a non-profit is to give back all the money raised each year at our golf tournament to things that Trevor loved and/or participated in.  We have been blessed that almost fifteen years since losing him we are able to continue to assist with these things.”

Melanie reminds you that the next TFred Memorial Golf Tournament will be held on Saturday, June 15th at the Atlantic Golf and Country Club. A silent auction will be held all day in the club house.

Those wishing to donate can contact Melanie Petty at 249-3696.  We look forward to a wonderful day of raising money, celebrating Trevor’s life and visiting with everyone.
