Today there is more happening in Brillion than ever before: 

• The school district is on solid footing with academics, extra curriculars, and facilities. 
• People are committed loyalists to their community and the quality of life it provides.

The state of the Brillion area is strong. The community continues to support many charitable causes and our people are overwhelmingly generous. This is a great community to call home.  

I strongly believe in this community and the work of the Brillion Area Family of Funds that supports it. I am simply amazed at your generosity, which is why I ask for your support to meet a $500,000 challenge. The opportunity this provides for our community is enormous and together we can do it! 

Our fundraising efforts to meet this challenge have surpassed our expectations. To date, you have donated over $137,000 which will be matched by Bob and Pat Endries up to $500,000. What does this mean? It means we can give back to the nonprofit organizations of the area. Here are Bob and Pat explaining their passion for strengthening our community:

This year the Brillion Area Family of Funds gave back to our community by financially supporting the Annual Night Out, helping a dental program in the Brillion Elementary School, and provided funds to purchase light boards at the Performing Arts Center – giving away more than any other year. What a wonderful thing to be a part of!  

When the needs were greatest, our generous community of donors was at their best, seizing the opportunity to make a difference. Without our donors and fund holders, none of this would be possible. And together with you, we are meeting challenges with generosity, creativity, and strength.

Thank you for your continuing support. You may see yourself reflected in this report, and as you read it, we hope you will be proud of what we accomplished together. We are prepared and eager to strive for a community where together, all will flourish.
