2011 Tiny Tim Gala charitable funding recipients

• St. Clare Health Mission, which provides free healthcare in our community to people less fortunate. The clinic is staffed by volunteer doctors, nurses, social workers, medical laboratory technicians, and community volunteers. Funding will go to both La Crosse and Monroe County clinics.
• WAFER Food Pantry—WAFER provides food to over 1,700 families from La Crosse County every month. Funding will be applied towards the purchase of reach-in coolers, allowing them to stock more nutritious, perishable items and will significantly reduce their energy costs.
