TOM BEATTY MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIPS & PROGRAMS


Greg and Tom at The Olympic Training Center in Vail, Colorado

JOIN US... in helping others have the time of their lives by donating to the Tom Beatty Memorial; assisting persons of all abilities to participate in recreation and individual pursuits.

TOM'S LEGACY......
Tom loved life and lived it to the fullest, whether he was carving a turn at Alyeska, hooking a big one on the American Creek in Katmai or going on a Monster Slide at the water park with his daughter Lindsay. But most of all Tom loved seeing people of all abilities having fun and trying out new adventures no matter how big or small. Tom's energy and life lives on in all who knew him. The Tom Beatty Memorial will support Alaskans with disabilities to pursue their dreams of adventure, fun and confidence in life.

HOW YOU CAN HELP.....
The Independent Living Center is a 501c3 not-for-profit organization that provides services to people and families experiencing disabilities. TRAILS is our inclusive recreation component that incorporates recreation, adventure and community into our services and our lives. Tom was an integral part of the development of TRAILS. Tom's family, co-workers and friends have come together to find a way of sharing Tom's love and joy of the outdoors. This Memorial Fund will enable us to provide unique activities and/or equipment for individuals wishing to access adventure and personal dreams. We are asking those who knew Tom and those who support his mission of everyone having fun in life to please make your tax deductible donations to:

TOM BEATTY MEMORIAL (C/O ILC)
BOX 2474
HOMER, ALASKA 99603
