Buddy Portugal Fund to Assure the Future of Victories
The Victories Board of Directors is pleased to announce the creation of
the "Buddy Portugal Fund To Assure The Future Of Victories." The purpose
of this fund is to honor the memory of our co-founder and beloved
friend, Buddy Portugal, by providing the support necessary to preserve
and grow our programs well into the future.
Become a Sustaining Member. We cordially invite
everyone in our community to become Sustaining Members of Victories. This new membership program will provide those who believe
in our work with the opportunity to help us ensure its future. Your tax
deductible membership dues of $200 will entitle you to a variety of
benefits including:
- $100 off our weekends (BreakThrough, Wisdom Years, & Shadow Weekend)
- 20% off all Paths to Leadership training programs or other Victories organized events/workshops
- $25 off our Annual Benefit
- Recognition in Annual Benefit program
- Option
to be included in the Sustaining Members Directory - an online listing designed to promote personal and professional networking
within our community.
Weekend Staff
Beginning September 1st, 2012, only sustaining members will be eligible to staff Victories weekends. As is always the case with Victories programs, this policy will NOT exclude men who, due to financial constraints, are not able to become sustaining members. Installment options are also available.
Victories truly appreciates the 80-100 hours that each individual gives when staffing a Victories weekend. There are, however, tangible costs of having leadership teams of around ten per weekend. Each staffer also receives significant personal growth benefit from staffing the weekend.
Even with all the tangible benefits of membership, the most satisfying will be one that is intangible: the knowledge that you are helping us help others to experience the transformative programs that so often help men realize their dreams, become better partners and parents, and achieve greater peace of mind.
To become a Sustaining Member, please register online, or contact the office at 312.604.5013 or admin@victoriesformen.org
