Guardian Day - As our guardians first responders deserve the support of our community. Police officers firefighters and paramedics are not immune to injury and too often their salaries are insufficient to support them and their families causing them to work an extraordinary amount of overtime. When suffering with illness or injury our first responders are then unable to supplement their insufficient salaries by working overtime and extra duty. Our primary programs is a fundraising activity consisting of a day long event appropriately named Guardian Day where the general public is invited and can attend eat drink and be entertained with the purpose of raising funds to support our guardians and the organization's mission. The board and volunteers put the event on at a venue capable of hosting the event. The event is funded by sponsors and donors and includes the sale of food and beverages auctions and raffles to raise additional funds. This event furthers the organization's exempt purpose by providing financial support to first responders and their immediate families who suffering from medical issues injuries or other disasters. The majority of the issues the first responder families are suffering have included a cancer diagnosis which have created undue financial hardships including medical bills not covered by insurance and associated costs of traveling to seek care for their diagnosis. Beneficiary families are selected by the Board of Directors and beneficiary families must be a first responder or an immediate family member of a first responder. During the lifetime of our organization we have served 11 families so far with an additional six to eight families currently in need. Volunteers donate their time to prepare and execute this large fundraising event and volunteer time is estimated to be valued at approximately $25,000. The venue provided for the fundraising event also donates the use of the facilities and the equipment used to prepare for the event and the estimated rental value of the facilities and use of the equipement is valued at approximately $20,000. 50000 50000 N A 0 0 N A 0 0 50000 Edward Wheeler President 6 0 0 0 Robert Stone Vice-President 4 0 0 0 Jerad Daniel Secretary 6 0 0 0 Laura Ann Stone Treasurer 4 0 0 0 Raymond Klug Director 3 0 0 0 Peter Firmin Director 3 0 0 0 John Firmin Director 3 0 0 0 false false false false false 0 false false false false LA Jerad Daniel 18166 Greenwell Springs Greenwell Springs LA 707394804 2256035247 false false false false false false false false false false false NONE NONE true X 0 0 20000 0 25300 45300 0 0 41676 0 65290 106966 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 61676 0 90590 152266 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 152266 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 61676 0 90590 152266 X Fundraiser - Guardian Day 95102 25300 69802 0 0 0 7679 5500 661 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 95102 25300 69802 0 0 0 7679 5500 661 13840 55962 Part I, line 10 | Grants And Similar Amounts Paid:, Amount:| Grants provided to beneficiary families as a result of our primary program activity.
