Your donations will be worthwhile and directly impact the students, school and community in unbelievable ways.

2. 100 Percent of Proceeds go to Benefit Student Athletes- Cole’s foundation is set up to accomplish one thing: benefit the lives of our student athletes. Because of this, 100 percent of all proceeds will go directly to Kettle Moraine families and the school facilities. You will be making a direct contribution to the lives of our children.

3. Celebrate the Legacy of Cole Philhower - Cole Philhower was a beloved son, friend, student, teammate and player. He was a spoken and unspoken leader and set a high standard for friendship through the way he lifting others and gave unselfishly of himself. He looked passed any challenges one had, their level of intelligence and/or athletic ability, and saw people for the individuals they are. He was a listening ear, an outstretched hand, a true friend. He made a difference in every life he touched. Through this foundation, Cole will continue make a difference and his legacy will live on in the lives of others.
