This year, the New Glarus FCCLA is planning to raise money for the Ben Jackson Foundation. Seven weeks before Ben Jackson, a United States Air Force member, passed away in Japan, he visited his family in New Glarus. They cherished every minute they spent with him. After his passing, the Jacksons have started the Ben Jackson Foundation, a nonprofit organization which raises money to send new military members home to visit their families from their first permanent duty station. FCCLA hopes that by raising money for this cause, we can bring military families in the community closer together.
One of the many fundraising activities planned are Family BINGO Night on January 21, 2019, from 6:15 p.m.-7:30 p.m., at the New Glarus Elementary School Cafeteria. Each BINGO card is $2.00 and prizes are donated by local businesses. The BINGO Nights are open to all New Glarus families.
Foundation merchandise is available for purchase. Items (sweatshirts, t-shirts, lanyards, decals and water bottles) will be displayed at the Culver’s fundraiser and BINGO nights. Order forms will also be available.
Through its National Program “Families First”, New Glarus FCCLA hopes to show how valued our military personnel and their families are to our community by giving back to them.
