Foundation Website

Here is the start of our new website, for The Foundation, Michaels Helping Hands.

Foundation Update

Update status on our foundation in Mike Chaloupka's name. The foundation name is, Michael's Helping Hands, Foundation. Name is registered and now the waiting game for the government to approve it. Already getting junk mail, that did not take long. It is hard to believe, that almost 5 years ago that we would have a foundation in his name. Can't wait for it to be approved, we will then be able to donate to a few great causes, that Mike loved. Also working on a website, facebook page, and our yearly fundraiser.

Foundation for Mike

The first step is finalized in starting our own foundation for Mike Chaloupka, our beloved son. Michael's Helping Hands Foundation, Inc, I want to send a big thank you for Intervarsity Christian Fellowship, for helping us. We just decided it was time to take the big step. Watch for a website, coming soon for The Foundation.

Donations

I am in the process of working on getting donations for the silent auction. So far we have gotten donations from Circus World, Comedy Sportz, and UWM Panthers (2 shirts and a backpack). My goal is to work on getting more donations, from new places.
