Current request

The Athletic Training Relief Fund Application Deadline has been extended to September 30, 2007 and the Southeast Athletic Trainers' Association's Executive Board is asking for assistance from the membership to identify any SEATA members who sustained a substantial loss as a result of the hurricanes in 2005.  We have received $3,000.00 as a result of the work done by Glen Snow and Rich Carey of Plate-O-Pair with the Hurricane Fundraiser Cookbook Volume I & II.  The Board requests that you assist in identifying our fellow athletic trainers who had a financial loss as a result of the hurricanes.  Those members who received assistance back in 2006 may still be eligible and are encouraged to apply if some needs are still unmet.  This information should be forwarded to Gerard White, AT Relief Fund Coordinator, at gerard.white@nicholls.edu and their name will be put into a database.  This information will help to ensure that the relief fund will be utilized and benefit ALL of our fellow athletic trainers in need.  Please use the Athletic Trainer Relief Fund Recommendation Form and submit no later September 30, 2007 so that the funds can be dispersed to those who are in need of assistance.

Previous Request for assistance.  The previous funds referred to below have now been distributed.  Please refer only to the information from above for requests after summer 2006.

Louisiana Athletic Trainers' Association's Executive Committee is asking for assistance from the membership to identify any athletic trainer who sustained a loss as a result of the hurricanes in 2005.  As athletic trainers, we strive to always be there and to help others and often neglect ourselves and fellow athletic trainers.  The committee would ask that we identify our fellow athletic trainer who had a financial loss as a result of the hurricanes.  This information should be forwarded to Gerard White, LATA Treasurer and coordinator of the AT Relief Fund, at
gerard.white@nicholls.edu and their name will be put into a database.  This information will help to ensure that the relief fund will be utilized and benefit ALL of our fellow athletic trainers.  Please use the Athletic Trainer Relief Fund Recommendation Form and submit no later June 30, 2006 so that the funds can be dispersed to those who are in need of assistance.

To this date, we have collected just over $10,000 in the fund.  We have received donations from District Associations: SWATA; State Associations: Arkansas, Florida, Louisiana, Georgia, and the Greater Dayton AT Association. The fund has also received contributions from two NATA members.  This fund was established to assist with athletic trainers affected by the 2005 hurricanes.  Checks can be made payable to:
