We're Out to Get $75,000 for Our Cause


Dear Friend,

We're very excited to let you know that The Father Fred Foundation has been selected to be part of the Art Van Million Dollar Charity Challenge. Art Van Furniture is challenging several charities to raise as much money as possible, and is giving the organization that raises the most a $75,000 donation to add to their cause.

Father Fred is raising money specifically for our housing assistance program. Keeping a roof over one's head is one of life's basic human needs and whenever we can, we try to help families stay in their homes or help them obtain affordable housing -- keeping them from falling through the cracks.

We need your help.
There are 54 other charities vying for these prizes (though we're the only one in northern Michigan)... We think we can win and to do so, we definitely need your help. Here's how:
  1. DONATE NOW either in addition to or in lieu of what you typically donate each year.
     
  2. CONDUCT YOUR OWN FUNDRAISER via CrowdRise and get your company, family, circle of friends, etc. involved in helping you raise money on behalf of Father Fred. Simply click on the "Fundraise for this campaign" link.
     
  3. HELP SPREAD THE WORD to your many circles. Help us go really viral with our need (housing assistance) and the Art Van Challenge. Free money is at stake. Lots of it. Email is the best route but social media works too.
We'll be sending emails throughout the Challenge asking for your help (there's a new challenge each week that could land us additional money from Art Van), so please pardon the repetitiveness. But every donation makes a difference, no matter how small.

Thanks so much for your support.


Rosemary Hagan
