 Foundation History

In February of 2008 the Cal Farley's Boys Ranch Alumni Association Board of Directors initiated the steps to creating a Foundation for the purpose of endowing support for the services of CFBRAA.  In November of 2008 the CFBRAA Board of Directors elected Bill Sarpalius and Rodney Ruthart as Directors of the CFBRAA Foundation.  They also approved the motion that the president of the Alumni Association would also serve on the Board of Directors of the Foundation.  Hence Michael Rogers was also elected to the Board of Directors of the Foundation.

Foundation Bylaws and incorporation applications were filed with the State of Texas and in December of 2009 the Foundation was officially incorporated.  The Foundation received it's official Employer Identification Number in January of 2010.  The Articles of Incorporation were approved in February of 2010.  On July 19th, 2010 the Foundation received the IRS determination letter identifying the CFBRAA Foundation as a 501 (c) (3) organization. 

The Foundation account became the repository for restricted fund of CFBRAA as these were moved to the Foundation account.  Restricted funds included those designated for the Wyman Owens Scholarship Fund, the Garland and Shirly Rattan Scholarship Fund and "Founding Legacy Partners" designated funds for endowing the Association.

In June 2010 Bobby Sarpalius was elected by the Board of Directors as a Board member. This was done so Bobby could speak for the Board of Directors in matters concerning the Foundation.  The By Laws were amended at this time requiring a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Foundation to be active CFBRAA members.
