Buck Sponsored Raffle Raising Money for Autism Awareness

Buck Buckley's Total Basement Finishing sponsored a meat raffle for Good Friend, Inc. at Curly's Waterfront Sports Bar & Grill on Saturday, April 21st to raise money for autism awareness, acceptance, and empathy. Buck Buckley spent the afternoon helping out with the raffle and in total, they raised around $3,000! This is the thank you letter we received from Good Friend, Inc and some fun pictures from the event! 

 

Thank you for participating in our trio of events!

We hope you've had as much fun as we have during this busy season of autism awareness/acceptance/appreciation!

It was the sunset year of our Highlight It Up Blue campaign, and we are grateful for the staff and families of Waukesha schools Butler, Rose Glen, Meadowbrook, and STEM-Saratoga for collectively raising nearly $2,300 during on-location events! Stylists Janet and Debby (Salon Brillaré), Erin (Merle Norman Salon), Kristen (Kristen's Hair Design), and Kodi (Legacy Salon & Spa) did a great job adding blue to 'dos to help people stand OUT and stand UP for people on the spectrum. 

You might have thought the headline from our 10th annual Rockin' for Good Friend Autism Acceptance Bowling FUNdraiser was the winter storm (in mid-April!?), but it was in fact the 200+ people who braved the conditions to be with us at Bowlero Wauwatosa on Sunday, April 15th! You helped us raise almost $28,000 for GFI's programs! Our sponsors, volunteers, participants, and donors have BIG hearts. We appreciate your generosity!

If you missed our first meat raffle at Curly's Waterfront Sports Bar & Grill on Saturday, April 21st, fear not! We're working on planning another for the fall. Those who joined us raised nearly $3,000! Thanks to Buck Buckley's Total Basement Finishing for sponsoring the event, and to Buck for joining us all afternoon.
