2010 Charity Information

This year, Shuley Cup is giving back to the community. All proceeds will be donated to the charity chosen by the 2010 Championship Team.

To date, we have raised at least $600. We will be holding raffles for donated goods, accepting cash donations, and asking for company matches (one company has committed to matching anything raised beyond the initial $600, capped at $1000). Please check www.shuleycup.com to learn more about Shuley Cup and to track the fundraising progress.

Marklund enriches the lives of those with special healthcare needs by honoring the unique purpose of each individual. Those served are able to enjoy a full and meaningful life supported by a compassionate, nurturing environment; a strong partnership with the community; and an unmatched dedication to personal growth.

The individuals Marklund serves come from various situations: some were born with disabilities due to complications during pregnancy and delivery, Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, drug abuse, or genetic disorders. Others acquired disabilities during infancy or childhood through tragic but common accidents involving cars, bicycles, skateboards, swimming pools, garage doors, or guns.

Nearly all those served are non-ambulatory and have severe cognitive deficits. Most also have complex medical problems that require 24-hour skilled nursing care.
