2009 Tiny Tim Gala Benefit and Festival of Trees was a great success!

The 23rd annual Tiny Tim Gala Benefit and first Festival of Trees was a record breaking year last November to benefit four local health-related programs. This year’s recipients included St. Clare Health Mission, which received a $20,000 donation, the Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater La Crosse, which received $10,000, the Riverfront Foundation, which received  $15,000, and Safe Path, a fund for Franciscan Skemp’s domestic and sexual abuse patients, which received a $15,000 donation. Checks were presented at the February 10th Franciscan Skemp Auxiliary luncheon.

This annual benefit event of the Franciscan Skemp Auxiliary has raised over $660,000 since its debut in 1987. Interested local agencies may contact the FSH Volunteer Office at 392-9766 for a funding application or visit tinytimgala.org. Submission deadline is March 15th.

Save the date for the 2010 Tiny Tim Gala Benefit and Festival of Trees to be held November 12th to the 14th.
