The Eli Stickley Memorial Fund was created to honor a great young wrestler who made an impact on everyone he came in contact with, and was a key student leader with AIA at the University of Wisconsin - Madison. Not long after attending the AIA Ultimate Training Camp(UTC) one summer during college, he went home to be with Jesus way sooner than any of us expected. Now this Memorial Fund is expanding to honor others, just like Eli.
Cole Toney was another young athlete with a passion for the Lord, who was an AIA student leader at Michigan State University that attended, and interned, at UTC for two summers, and then went home to be with Jesus "too soon."
Through your generosity, these funds will help other athletes understand how to live and grow in a relationship with Jesus as they experience the love of God while competing in their sport, and throughout all of their life. One of the ways we will use these funds is to help provide financial scholarships every year for athletes-in-need to be able to experience the Ultimate Training Camp (UTC), a week long camp for college athletes that helps re-orientate everything in their lives, including sport, around God. And also equips them to live an other-centered life for the rest of their life. This camp greatly impacted Eli and Cole, and countless others like them. They wanted all of their friends to experience what they experienced! So thank you for helping us reach as many athletes as possible with the Gospel through your giving.
