Memorial Fund

Established in the 2007-2008 curling season by the CCC Board as a way to honor the memory of curlers who have passed away or to commemorate curlers for special occasions such as a birthday or anniversaries, donations made to the Memorial Fund provide for an annual gift to the club that the Board would consider a want, not necessarily a need. The Memorial Fund committee, currently consisting of Kevin Behrens, Wilson Gottschild and Laura Jansen, vote and install these gifts to the club. Past gifts have included new furniture for the warm room, flat screen TVs for each sheet, updated cameras over the ice, new hacks, new bar stools, a new big screen TV in the living room, pantry renovation, new ice pebble mixer, phone charger at bar, stereo system bluetooth, outdoor flags and welcome mat.  

Whenever a contribution is made, a handwritten note goes to either a family member or the honored curler acknowledging the contribution. It also gets announced in the CCC newsletter and recorded in the memorial fund book. Suggestions for annual gifts come from members of the club. 

 

Contact email for the fund is memorial@chicagocurlingclub.org for more information about how to donate or for gift suggestions. 

Please consider choosing our fund for the "in lieu of gifts" for your next celebration or "in lieu of flowers" of a curler who has passed away. 

Curlers Grace

Give us a heart to do what's right, like curlers true and keen. 
To be good friends along life's road and sweep our slide all clean. 
Be thou our Skip throughout life's game, and then we're sure to win. 
Though slow the shot and wide the aim, we'll sweep each other in.
- Scottish Prayer
