This year’s Harvest Moon Barn Dance was a great success, raising about $75,000. More than 350 people joined us for an evening of great food, live music and dancing. Net proceeds of the event will go to the Foundation’s new “Access to Care” fund and will be designated to support the two programs below, both of which provide residents of our region with critical health care services.
The Free Clinic of Pierce and St. Croix Counties provides medical services to individuals with no health care alternative. Since opening in April of 2007, the weekly clinic has provided care to uninsured, low income individuals from throughout our region. Proceeds from this event will support the general operating expenses of the Free Clinic
The Pierce County Public Health Department’s school-based dental clinics provide dental cleanings and sealants to uninsured low-income children at schools in Elmwood, Spring Valley, Plum City and Ellsworth. Proceeds from this event will support the equipment and staffing needed to expand the program to include exams, prophylaxis and fluoride, and to bring the program to a school in River Falls.
A special thank you to our event sponsors!
