Once again, for 2024, the LBFA, a non-profit organization, supports two other non-profit organizations, one local to La Crosse, Wisconsin, and one local to our Irish Sister City, Bantry, County Cork, Ireland. We are pleased to support the La Crosse Dive Unit, and the Bantry Lifeboat (BISRA).
To learn more about each organization, see these links:

To strengthen our Sister City connection and to bring awareness to social issues both cities/countries face, LBFA held its first CHC fundraiser in 2016. Each year, proceeds from the CHC are shared equally to deserving non-profit organizations, both here in La Crosse, and in Bantry, Ireland.
Cash sponsorships and In-Kind donations are welcome and encouraged!
Donors are rewarded with special acknowledgments, and all donations are tax deductible. Thank you for your generosity. Slainte!
