October 2020
Celebrating 60 years, Sky Ranch Foundation ℠ continues our efforts to support our nation’s at-risk youth on behalf of the Beverage Alcohol Industry.
Covid 19 aside, this is an unprecedented year for the Foundation as we reflect upon the thousands of these youth our funding has helped during these six decades. As well, we received sixty requests for funds, more than three times that of any previous year, underscoring the need to continue our efforts. We are pleased that the foundation is able to bring support this year to these deserving organizations:
