Rooftop event July l7 hopes to raise $70,000 for three nonprofits – includes all CSGM groups!

Community Shares and its member organizations are one of three nonprofit groups selected to receive donations at a special downtown 11th story rooftop fundraising event, organized and hosted by Carl Templer.

The event is titled “7-17-70” because Templer hopes to raise $70,000 during the evening of July 17.  The other two beneficiaries will be Rogers Memorial Hospital and Adoption Resources of Wisconsin.  Guests can make the check out to any nonprofit group they choose: Community Shares will facilitate contributions to any of their member organizations, or any other 501-C3 in the US.

“No RSVP is needed but it is welcomed,” said Templer.  “Just come and enjoy this great space for one evening.  The wine and beer will be free.  If you cannot attend, please send a check to your favorite charity. Help me raise a mere $70,000 in one night.”

Templer is inviting everyone to bring a friend and your checkbook, but leave the pressure behind.

“Many non-profits are struggling in Milwaukee, as well as across the country – Let’s help,” said Templer.  “And be sure to bring a guest!  Come for a beer or glass or wine and a great 11th story view of Milwaukee from the roof of this condo. No pressure – just fun – and some dollars for your favorite charity.”

The event will take place from 4:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., Thursday July 17th at 730 N. Plankinton Ave. – Unit 10B, Riverfront Lofts Condos.  For more information, contact Community Shares or call Carl at 414-975-3484 or email him at CTempler@wi.rr.com.

WisCOSH is a member of Community Shares of Greater Milwaukee and has been since it was known as AChoice. Most Community Shares of Greater Milwaukee agencies are locally based (though some are state wide) focus on social, economic and environmental justice issues in Milwaukee and around the state of Wisconsin.

Community Shares and it’s member agencies participate in workplace giving campaigns to provide funding for programs which will directly benefit the local area. Community Shares also gives the donor the option to make a donation to any registered 501(c)(3) non-profit agency whether it is a member of Community Shares or not.

Beside the workplace giving campaign member agencies and Community Shares may hold fundraising events throughout the year. Please join us and help support Community Shares of Greater Milwaukee and it’s member agencies. They are quite a fun way to have an enjoyable evening and help support some very deserving agencies at the same time.
