King Salmon Derby on the Nushagak Benefiting the Bristol Bay Native Corporation Education Foundation Date: June 24-25, 2018

PRIZE DONATION INFORMATION

The Bristol Bay Native Corporation Education Foundation is hosting the first King Salmon Derby on the Nushagak River near Dillingham, AK on Sunday and Monday, June 24 and 25, 2018.

This is the signature fundraising event to benefit the BBNC Education Foundation, whose mission is to provide higher education and vocational training scholarships to Bristol Bay Native Corporation shareholders and support for cultural heritage activities in the Bristol Bay Region.

Each year, BBNC Education Foundation supports more than 250 students to pursue their educational and vocational training goals. Graduates now serve as lawyers, doctors, teachers, scientists and in a wide range of careers that serve the Bristol Bay region. In addition, the Foundation provides grant funds to Bristol Bay communities to preserve traditional cultural practices through activities like cultural camps and school-based programs.

The Neqa Derby will feature for two days of healthy competition on the Nushagak during King Salmon season. The Derby will award three cash prizes, an individual trophy, and a lodge trophy. We anticipate that the primary participants in the inaugural event will be guests in the high-end lodges that dot the Nushagak River and Bristol Bay area. The derby will also be open to the public.

The BBNC Education Foundation is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization (IRS tax I.D. number 92- 0141709) and all donations are tax exempt.

Prize donations are sought for a raffle to be held during the two-day event, and as special prizes for participating anglers.

Prize donors will receive the following: • Recognition on the Neqa Derby website • Email acknowledgement on Derby communications to participants • Printed acknowledgement in the Bristol Bay Native Corporation quarterly newsletter, which is mailed to 10,000+ BBNC shareholders around the United States • Verbal acknowledgement at the Derby event, including the closing ceremony.
