Fox Cares Fundraisers
More than a path to or for charity, Fox Cares is a platform for assistance and advocacy; a way for our members to support organizations helping people throughout Northeast Wisconsin discover the security of a warm home, the stability of a warm meal, and the freedom to share the warmth in their hearts through art. In addition to donations from members, our staff and community, the foundation is supported by proceeds from fundraising events sponsored by Fox Communities Credit Union.
Shoot for Fox Sake
April 25th 11:00 AM – 5:00 PM – Triple J Wing and Clay
Join us for the inaugural “Shoot For Fox Sake” Charity Sport Clay Shoot! This fun day of clay shooting and networking will support Fox Cares Foundation, as we strive to build a physically and emotionally healthy community. We are excited to bring this unique and inaugural event fundraiser to support organizations that aim to end homelessness, fight hunger, and provide access to the arts.
Bike to the Beat
In 2016, the first Bike to the Beat event raised $25,000 for myTeam Triumph, a local charity that creates a community, which embraces, celebrates and empowers those with diverse abilities. Bike to the Beat: Track 2 benefited myTeam Triumph and the Refuge Foundation for the Arts. In one year, our event doubled from about 1,500 participants to over 3,200 bikers!
Swing Fore Fox Sake
July 22th 11:00 AM – 7:00 PM – Fox Valley Golf Club
Our Make Music Happen initiative helps provide musical opportunities to children in our community. In 2016, we began collecting cash donations during events that we sponsor. Initially, we are working with the Appleton Area School District to get instruments in the hands of children who would normally be unable to participate due to the funds needed to rent an instrument. Watch for more opportunities to help this great cause.
