Quarter 2 Fundraising: Flood Relief in the Plains

Quarter 1 Round-Up

During quarter one, the CCC focused our efforts on fundraising for Greater Waukesha Literacy. Our goal was to raise $250 in employee donations as well as 220 Dr. Seuss books. We raised over $275 in employee donations and donated 133 Dr. Seuss books. We are thrilled that we met our fundraising goal and hope to be able to meet our non-cash donation goals in the coming quarters. Thank you for your donations and support!

Quarter 2

Severe weather continues to slam the plains, disrupting lives and devasting communities. As of March 20th, damages are estimated at $1.4 billion in Nebraska alone. With another Bomb Cyclone descending on the area this week, those damages are expected to grow.

The CCC had been looking for a way to assist in the recovery efforts for the region when an organization came to us. Nebraska Council of School Administrators is an organization that works closely with our Central Region. This organization has decided to administer a fund that will be distributed to affected school districts in the area. We are excited to raise funds to assist those in the area who will so desperately need assistance now and in the coming weeks and months.

What are we doing?

We are planning a variety of events, so there is sure to be something for everyone!
