About the W.I.N.G.S. Foundation
"Whatever Individual Needs Gear or Support"
Craig and Cathy Miles have been blessed in many areas of their walk on this earth. Both graduated from UWRF in 1980 with degrees in education and both have earned master degrees in education as well. After college Craig and Cathy were married while Cathy worked at the Blair/Taylor school district and Craig at the Independence school district. In 1985 they moved to the Balsam Lake, Wisconsin area with Cathy teaching in St Croix Falls schools and Craig teaching and coaching at the Unity school district. While teaching we had two beautiful children; Kelli born in 1986 and Mark born in 1988.
On June 11, 2006, our world came crashing down on us as our beautiful son, brother, friend took his life at 18 years of age. What follows is the story of W.I.N.G.S. Craig, Cathy, and Kelli continue to miss Mark so much. We decided that we needed to make some choices. Mark was a very compassionate young man and cared for everybody around him. So we decided that we wanted to carry on that compassion and help as many children, students, people as we could.
Our philosophy continues to evolve but what we attempt to do is help young people that are financially disadvantaged and can not reach their goals because of some underlying circumstance. The other piece to our philosophy is to promote kindness. There were individuals in Mark's world that were not very kind and our goal is to promote and support team building activities centered around sports and the fast moving world of technology and cyber-bullying.
If W.I.N.G.S. can help young people reach towards their goals and can promote kindness in this world that at times doesn't remember the significance of all, Mark would be proud. |
