The Brotherhood of the Leaf
“We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give.”
Our mission
Help that arrives when it matters most
To raise funds from within the Winston’s member community and from Winston’s fund-raisers, and to give help and support to individuals and families who are sadly missed by larger organizations.
The Brotherhood of the Leaf Foundation is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization established by the founding members of The Winston’s Club. It is dedicated to swift, compassionate assistance for individuals and families facing sudden, critical hardships: unexpected crises in which timely help can prevent escalating and potentially devastating consequences.
By rallying community resources and acting quickly, the foundation strives to bring stability, relief and hope to those in urgent need.

How it works
The process is simple
Requests for support are submitted to the board by BOTL members.
The impact is immediate
The board approves or denies each request, and payouts are made accordingly.
100% to those in need
100% of all donations, less hard costs such as shirts and hats, go to recipient vendors or service providers.
