Association of the Wolf Lake Initiative
Wolf Lake has been a family-friendly destination for generations. Fishing, swimming, skiing, canoeing and learning stewardship as a family keeps it that way. And so does your donation
For today, giving to enhance Wolf Lake heightens the joy of the outdoors for the today's youth, enriches their learning, and instills in them a stewardship ethic. A direct donation to the Association of the Wolf Lake Initiative enables the not-for-profit organization and land trust to serve as a custodian of the bi-state lake.
For tomorrow, giving back will make it possible for our children’s children to establish their own cherished memories of Wolf Lake!
Keep the Association for the Wolf Lake Initiative in your estate planning.
AWLI established an endowment fund for Wolf Lake in 2001. It is managed by the Legacy Foundation of Lake County to “provide support to the bi-state improvement and enhancement of Wolf Lake.” There are other options to give back to Wolf Lake. One can leave a bequest or arrange a charitable gift annuity or a charitable remainder. AWLI could be named beneficiary of a life insurance policy or recipient of appreciated securities and real estate.
By giving back, you can foster life-lasting memories in tomorrow’s youth. Think of it as your own self-imposed inheritance tax.
Giving back makes Wolf Lake your children’s children’s Great Lake

The Cara M. Spicer Fund provides support for educational activities such as class fees, field trips, art and dance classes, summer camp, and art supplies for children of low income families in northwest Indiana.
In her all too brief career as Program Director at the Legacy Foundation, Cara touched many people with her resolve to help non-profits of Northwest Indiana improve their organizations and reach their goals. Her interest in philanthropy stemmed from the late 1980s when she was “blown-away” by the chorus of the Emerson School for Visual and Performing Arts. She began writing grants for the Friends of Emerson and continued doing so through her years in the private sector managing hair salons, including one of the largest in the country. She brought those skills to Legacy following a return to college. While in college she directed The Gary Art Works, an after-school arts program.
Following her untimely death at the age of fifty-seven, The Cara M. Spicer Fund was established to provide under-privileged children the funds to attend after-school and summer Fine Arts activities.
Cara was one of those people who, as a friend said, “If she was in the room you just wanted to sit down next to her.” She brought enthusiasm and good nature to everything she touched.
