The Detroit Lakes Athletic Foundation is beginning phase two of building toward our goal of growing the endowment to  $1 million.  This year the DLAF will be reaching out to past donors who have met their 5 year commitment to consider extending their pledges.

The DLAF committee will also reach out in an effort to grow the membership of the Foundation.  Since the original fund drive we have a whole new generation of potential Foundation members that have not been made aware of the opportunities available to support the Foundation and the future of Laker Athletics. If you are not already a member of the DLAF, please consider joining and help make a lasting impact on Laker Athletics. If you would like to learn more about the goals of the Foundation, please contact any one of the DLAF committee members listed in the “Contact Us” tab of this website. We’d love to share our vision of how, together, we can help ensure Laker Athletics can be successful and affordable long into the future.
