Q4 United Way Results and Our Final Charity for the Year

Now that Halloween candy is 75% off and Christmas decorations are already up, we can confirm United Way month has come to close. With your help, we raised $540 in employee donations ($1,080 with the NIS match) and made over 200 sandwiches to benefit The Guest House and The Caring Place. Thank you!

What’s Next?

For our final fundraising events of the quarter, we will be focusing on the Ronald McDonald House of Eastern Wisconsin (RHMC). The Ronald McDonald House provides families with seriously ill children a place to stay while being treated at Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin. Since 1984 they have provided more than 40,000 family stays.

Looking for a Christmas gift for a family member or maybe just to treat yourself? NIS has generously donated several Surface Pro 3s for a raffle. The Surface Pro 3s are used and do have some wear and tear. However, all units include Windows 10, Surface Keyboard/Mouse Pad and Surface Pro Adapter (a standard wall charger).
