Volunteers are always welcomed and needed.

We will have many children, and would like to have 10 Volunteers

Proceeds go to the inspiring programs and benefits of The Scooter Foundation, including roller-blading, hay rides, working farms, pumpkin picking, kite-building, hands-on zoo activities, bowling and other fun games, Holiday parties, Schriner's Circus, and more!
The primary beneficiary are the students at Oliver Wendell Holmes School, just blocks from Scooter's last home. Students must have good grades and exceptional behavior to earn the right to participate. With this motivation, 46 students have improved from a "failing" to a "passing level".
The Scooter Foundation was created in 2006 as a living remembrance to Scott 'Scooter' Schmidt, a victim of gun violence in May of 2005. Scooter was a fixture in the Water Street community for his kind heart and generousity to others.

"We want to instill confidence and self-worth, and show these kids there are better ways to resolve problems. We talk about preventing gun violence and ways to promote community leadership" - Susan Schmidt, Scooter's sister and foundation leader.
