It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Check presentation time! Storm Sporting Events presented Family & Childrens Center with a donation of $3,600 to be used in their youth mental health programs. This donation was made possible by our participants at Storm the Bluffs, the last event in The Storm Trail Race Series for 2023. We love check presentment day and it’s all possible because of the support we receive throughout the year! Thank you all!!

In November we presented Carol and Mohamed from Solomon's Song a check for $700. The generous donations that made this possible came from our Virtual Storm the Stairs Series during the month of September as we focused on Suicide Prevention Awareness Month.

While COVID restrictions prevented us from having Storm the Bluffs 2020, many of our generous participants converted their registration fees into donations. Those generous acts along with direct donations allowed us to present a check for $1,120 to Family & Children's Center of Winona to help with their youth mental health programs. 

We were very excited to present Hiawatha Valley Mental Health Center with a check for $2,000 today to help support their Youth Mental Health programs!! This is an accumulation of several fundraisers held during this COVID pandemic. Bill created his own "Summer Storm" challenge as he made an attempt at 100 miles on Cherry Hill and the Bronk Plowline trails. Mandy held an online fundraiser for her birthday in May and we also included the donations from our Virtual edition of Storm the Park held in May. We appreciate all the support we have received since we created this non-profit race company last year!! Without you, we would not succeed!! Can't wait for in-person race events to be held again....hopefully yet this year!!

We love doing what we do and proving awareness and funds to Youth Mental Health programs while we do it!!! We raised $1,300 at Storm the Bluffs to donate to Family & Children's Center to help with their youth mental health programs. Vanessa Southworth provided the participants with an overview of what programs are available in our area during our pre-race announcements on November 26th we were delighted to deliver their check to them!! Members of the Board of Directors, Megan Weilandt, Bill Hansel and Mandy Weilandt are pictured with Vanessa Southworth. Thanks to all who came out to the event and we look forward to Storm the Bluffs 2020!!

On October 2nd, we presented Carol and Mohamed from Solomon's Song a check for $508. The generous donations that made this possible came from our Storm the Stairs Series. Thank you to all who participated and donated to make this donation possible.

On August 16th, we had the pleasure of presenting Erik Sievers at Hiawatha Valley Mental Health Center a check for $1,500!!!!! These are the donations we collected for their Youth Mental program at our inaugural trail race, Storm the Farm held at Briggs Outdoors last month. Thanks to all who participated and donated towards this worthwhile cause!!
