Giving Back to the Community

Dear Hupy and Abraham, On behalf of Milwaukee Habitat for Humanity, I want to personally thank you for your gift of $5,000. This contribution will not only provide a life-changing opportunity for a family to purchase and own a decent home, it will also empower them to build a strong and sustainable future for themselves and their children. Over the last 33 years, Milwaukee Habitat has focused on building and renovating houses in partnership with families in need, serving more than 1,000 families locally and 1,800 families in developing countries. We work under the guiding belief that decent and affordable housing helps families break the cycle of poverty, create long-term financial security, and build a better future for their children. Since launching our Neighborhood Revitalization strategy in 2013, our organization has partnered with volunteers, donors, and community stakeholders in the Washington Park neighborhood to build new homes and rehab existing homes. In addition, over 100 low-income homeowners have received assistance in making needed repairs to their homes, with projects ranging from minor exterior repairs to critical repairs to address safety and accessibility concerns. Thank you again for your contribution and your belief in our mission. Sincerely, Andy Heuer Development Director

Hupy and Abraham, It is because of the loyal support and invaluable partnerships from incredible people and businesses like yours that the Waukesha County Fair is able to continue a proud tradition that began in 2842. With the closing of a momentous anniversary year, I would like to extend my sincere appreciation and thank you on behalf of the Waukesha County Fair Board, hundreds of volunteers, and 4-H exhibitors in being able to welcome 113,503 fairgoers over our 5-day event. Your dedication to and for this event enables us to not only continue our efforts to educate and entertain but to also preserve our rural heritage. Again, we thank you for your undeniable support and value it tremendously. This is a time-honored tradition that we look to continue to grow and truly make moments together become memories forever! With Gratitude, Chrissy Gluege Executive Director Waukesha County Fair Association, Inc. 

Dear Hupy and Abraham, Thank you for making a difference for Carthage College students. You allow the College the ability to offer our students unparalleled experiences every year.

We are grateful you have chosen to be part of the journey of Carthage students as they become engaged scholars, determined athletes, and good citizens. You ensure that together – we are “seeking truth, building strength, and inspiring service.” With gratitude, Elaine L. Walton Associate Vice President for Institutional Advancement  

Hupy and Abraham, On behalf of the committee, I want to THANK YOU so very much for your contribution towards our Poker Run for Veterans on July 8, 2017. The items we donated were either raffled off or sold at the silent auction. With those items, plus the cash donations, we were able to exceed our goal of funds that were raised to help local veterans. We also beat last year’s numbers! Again, thank you very much for your contribution and your support of our military and veterans. We appreciate it very much! Sincerely, Jennifer Dewitz Founder Jen’s Journey, Inc.

Hupy and Abraham, We are the Rock Valley Mustang Club and we would like to extend to you a heartfelt “THANK YOU” from all the club members. Our decision to send us goodie bag items for our car show this year was greatly appreciated. We also received lots of positive feedback for your participation from the registrants who received the goodie bags. Thanks to your help we set a new attendance record of 172 show cars. Thanks so much, Jim Foster Secretary, RVMC

Dear Hupy and Abraham, Thank you for choosing to support our 14th Annual Feed Your Soul event by joining us as the Feed Your Soul Partner Sponsor. Your support will make possible a memorable night of raising friends and funding toward our mission of solving hunger. And honestly, it could not have come at a better time. Year after year, the cooler months bring with them serious challenges for a food bank. Many families have to choose between paying rent, heat, warm clothes, and putting food on the table. When 1 in 4 children in Milwaukee are facing hunger, we need to come together and ensure that no one has to miss a meal. Our mission’s success depends on partners like you and for that we are truly grateful. Thank you again for your generosity. Sincerely, Patti Habeck President Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin

Dear Michael, On behalf of the entire YMCA of Metropolitan Milwaukee family, thank you for Hupy and Abraham’s sponsorship in support of the 21st annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration Breakfast. We are thrilled that you will join us at the Italian Community Center on January 15, 2018, to celebrate the legacy of a great leader committed to equality for all members of our society. It is an honor to host this important event for nearly 600 community, business, civic and faith leaders. What a gift it is to see so many community members come together in tribute and celebration. This year’s theme is Dr. King’s challenge, “We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools.” At the Milwaukee Y, our vision is to create a stronger, healthier Milwaukee where families of all incomes and backgrounds truly thrive. The Milwaukee Y strives to meet community needs through the strategic cultivation of partnerships with other non-profits, the public sector, businesses, individuals and the neighborhoods which we serve. Once again, thank you. Your support helps make this event possible and reminds our community that together—we all have an important role to play in the region and state that we call home. Sincerely, Shaneé Jenkins Vice President of Social Responsibility & Strategic Partnerships YMCA of Metropolitan Milwaukee  

Dear Hupy and Abraham, S.C., Thank you for becoming a part of the Pathway Home Celebration – and for helping to make big things happen every day. The 2017 Pathway Home event is the culmination of our 15th Anniversary Celebration! Our goal is to raise $100,000 to benefit women and families. You support will change livies and create a legacy that may truly last a lifetime. Your generous sponsorship gift will help to end homelessness, one life at a time. Again, thank you.

Dear Hupy and Abraham, S.C., Thank you for your generous gift to the Wisconsin Humane Society. Your support makes a real impact, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Because of you, we now have three campuses across southeastern Wisconsin, and impact the lives of more than 24,000 animals annually. Because of you, we are able to provide temporary shelter for animals living in domestic violence situations. Because of you, we can provide 500 free spay/neuter surgeries annually to one of Milwaukee’s most impoverished communities. Because of you, our growing humane education programs serve more than 8,000 children every year, planting the seeds for a more humane community in the future. We don’t receive any general government funding and we are not an affiliate of any of the national animal welfare organizations. We are dependent upon the local community to fund all of our lifesaving services. That’s you. And you couldn’t be a better friend to the Wisconsin Humane Society. We pledge to you that we will work tirelessly to continue to create a legacy for animals of which you can be deeply proud. Thank you for everything. With gratitude, Anne Reed Wisconsin Humane Society
