Due to COVID pandemic restrictions, we will not be having the Spin for Kids Bike Race in the Spring of 2021.
We want to thank all of our previous Spin for Kids riders, volunteers, sponsors and donors for their support and continued interest in this fundraiser.
Spin for Kids continues to be grateful for all donations received supporting its mission of providing funds for therapy, services and equipment to children who have special needs, from birth through 19 years of age. Your gift makes a difference.
Individuals, businesses or groups who are holding events and want to donate to Spin for Kids are asked to contact Diane Gunderson at 218.779.6400 or at dgunderson@altru.org.
Donations and memorials can also be made through the Altru Health Foundation designated to the Spin for Kids Fund. All donations are tax-deductible.
The Spin for Kids Allocation Committee wants to assure everyone that there are Spin for Kids dollars available throughout the coming year for those families requesting Spin for Kids funds. Spin for Kids provides funding for therapy, services and equipment to children from birth through 19 years of age with special needs within the Spin for Kids Altru Health System service area.
Individuals interested in applying for funds are asked to fill out the "Spin for Kids Allocation Application". There are four deadlines for submitting a Spin for Kids application each year: January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1. If you have any questions or need assistance with a Spin for Kids application, please contact Diane Gunderson at 701.780.1540; 218.779.6400 or at dgunderson@altru.org.
