The Hailey Mohring Trust Fund Update - 2010

Kelly Mohring Memorial Golf Classic

What is the Hailey Mohring Trust Fund?

Kelly Mohring, the UTRCA's Development Planning Specialist, passed away in March 2000 after a brave battle with cancer. She left behind her husband, Jeff, and their daughter, Hailey, who was two years old at the time. Our staff decided to use our annual golf tournament to raise money for Hailey, whose challenge is to live a happy, productive life with cerebral palsy.

The Hailey Mohring Trust Fund was established to oversee the funds raised for the care and well being of Hailey. Because of Hailey's medical condition, she requires some very specialized equipment and care. In addition to regular wear and tear, her equipment needs to be replaced as she outgrows it.

Who are the Trustees?

The funds raised at the golf tournament are managed by the Hailey Mohring Trust Fund. The seven Trustees have developed a set of criteria for decision-making. They consider requests for services and equipment purchases and repairs and assist with these expenses if the request meets criteria and funds permit. Hailey’s family also pursues all alternate sources of funding and services.

What has the Trust Fund done?

Hailey is now 13 years old and is growing up with her dad, Jeff. She attends school but will always require specialized before and after school care. Funds raised by the golf tournament cover the cost of this service. Massage therapy helps Hailey to maintain a level of flexibility and relieves some of the pain associated with her condition. Again, the golf tournament proceeds support this service. In 2010, these Trust Fund expenditures, along with some equipment purchases, totalled over $25,000.
