Mission Statement: To provide physical and financial assistance to local charitable organizations, while providing fun and rewarding experiences for our members and friends.
Team Ready Friends:
| Welcome to the Team Ready Headquarters!
After beginning as an informal group of the 90’s camp staff alumni during the summer of 2000, the Team Ready Foundation became an official not-for-profit organization in 2005 and a 501(c)(3) charity in 2007. Building upon the friendships and work ethics developed at Tesomas Scout Camp, members of Team Ready have made social and service activities the basis of its foundation. Membership has expanded to include fellow classmates, teammates, friends, relatives and significant others. In addition to supporting activities of fellow members and the Scout camp, events have grown to physically and financially supporting many other charitable organizations in our various communities.

Recent 2009 Summer Events
Over the weekend of June 5-7, the Team Ready Foundation held our 5th Annual Charity Softball Tournament at Marathon Lanes Sports Complex. Despite record cold temperatures, wind and rain, a record $4046 was raised to support local community activities.
In addition to using a portion of the proceeds to continue our support of scholarships, memorials and youth sporting activities, the Team Ready Foundation donates the bulk of the funds raised to varying charities each year. In 2009, the volunteers choose to support area food pantries – this year $3046 will be shared between The Neighbors’ Place in Wausau and Operation Bootstrap in Stevens Point (plus a $1000 donation was already made in April to take advantage of the Feinstein Foundation matching funds challenge, and over one hundred non-perishable food items were also collected at the tournament).
The
continued success of this event is made possible through the combined
support of many groups. Thank you to the dozens of volunteers and hundreds
of players & spectators on hand throughout the weekend. Thank you
to the sponsors of the participating teams – Werner Insurance,
SD Ellenbecker, Domino’s Pizza, B&K Trucking, Loading Zone,
Night Train, Thunder Lube and Jerry’s Music (with a special thanks
to several teams that continue to donate their prize money back to the
cause). Thank you to the businesses that donated concession stand supplies
– lead again by the major sponsorship from Kwik Trip and their
many vendors, along with contributions from Eastbay, Pepsi, Central
Beer, 1st Place Trophy & Engraving, and the numerous area businesses
that provided door prizes & gift certificates. Thank you all for
helping make lives better in our communities.
