Meeting Our Goal

We officially started fundraising for our scholarship by soft launching in February 2021. What started as personal asks from family and friends, we had the goal of going public once 25% of our $50,000 goal was reached. We quickly reached this goal after two months and went public with our campaign in April 2021.

With the help of community partnerships, merchandise sales and direct donations, we were able to exceed our goals and raise over $63,000 by November 2021. We were amazed and so thankful that the community got behind this initiative in such a meaningful way.

Our community partners throughout the years include: Ruby Coffee, Main Grain Bakery, Mill Creek Gardens, Caravan Wineshop, Sarah Kaetterhenry, The Legacy Group at KPR, Hom Family Dentistry, UWSP School of Business, Thousand Lumens Productions, Mode Designs (Ellen Larson), Ambient Inks, and numerous donors from Assembly Shop customers and friends.

Fundraising will continue intermittently through various community initiatives or events. Stay tuned!
