Each year, Outagamie County employees vote on 12 local charities they would like to contribute to. Once per month, Outagamie County has a Denim Day in which employees donate a minimum of $5.00 to the selected charity and wear jeans on Denim Day. In the month of August, the Sexual Assault Crisis Center-Fox Cities was chosen as the local charity. Flyers were placed around the different divisions to remind employees of the upcoming denim day. As a result, Denim Day on August 2nd included 156 participants and raised a total of $910 for the agency. This goes to show that a series of small donation can really go a long way in a short amount of time.
This is another example of the positive supportive network the SACC-Fox Cities has established with the Department of Human Services and others in the county who work to help families in need.
A special thanks to Helen Kobussen at Sexual Assault Crisis Center in the Fox Cities for this contribution. If you are interested in highlighting your event, please contact Peter Fiala at peterf@wcasa.org.
Thanks!
Peter
