  Swift Eagle's donations to those in need continue to grow as word spreads about the foundation. Recent contributions have been to:

• an individual in need of exploratory surgery and unable to work

• a softball tournament fundraiser (platinum sponsor) to raise money for a young girl with HIV

• a women unable to work because of a head injury

• two high school boys seriously injured in a car accident

• a sponsorship for library work for a disabled young woman

• a woman from a domestic abuse situation who lost her car

• the educational fund for the children of a family who lost their father

Plans for a fund raiser in September, after Labor Day, with Phil Jackson as keynote speaker continue. The group is researching venues and sponsorships for the event.

Swift Eagle President David Haakenson and founding member Debbie McClenahan were interviewed by the Vail Daily and a great article on the foundation, ("Swift Eagle to the Rescue"), was in the April 23, 2005 issue. The article can be read online at www.vaildaily.com. Contact has been made with several radio stations for free non-profit ads as well.

The Swift Eagle web site, www.swifteagle.org is up and running. (There is a swifteagle.com which is not us.) We'd love to hear what everyone thinks of it!

A second mailing was sent out to potential donors. Thank you notes have been sent out to our growing number of contributors.
