Star Journal Frederick Place fundraiser gets creative
By Star Journal Staff
It’s been a long year for members of the Northwoods Alliance for Temporary Housing (NATH) fundraising committee. Following the cancellation of its anniversary gala in January, the organization was facing a $20,000 deficit. Committee members began thinking creatively for ways to chip away at the red ink and came across a fundraiser on social media which they adapted for Frederick Place temporary housing in Rhinelander.
For a $25 donation, someone will draw a photo of the donor’s house. NATH executive director Tammy Modic came up with the title, “Poorly Drawn Houses,” and it stuck.
