FUNdraising for Quarters: 2nd Quarter Winner!!!

The Cabrini Connections’ FUNdraising for Quarters competition consists of Cabrini Connections’ volunteers making an effort to spread the word about the program to those in their network. Our volunteers share their experiences and the overall goals of the program to family, friends, coworkers, and/or others who support those who are working to better the lives of our youth.

As a result of our volunteers spreading the word and with other creative ideas from the volunteers, financial support is brought into the program. And part of this competition is that the volunteers who bring in the most support are rewarded with a variety of gifts at the end of our quarters. The Cabrini Connections’ staff is proud to announce that Thursday tutor/mentor Mary C. Nelson is our FUNdraising for Quarters winner for the 2nd Quarter. M.C. Nelson was able to bring in a total of $1630 during the second quarter and will receive:

1. A Webster’s Wine Bar $60 gift certificate that provides her and a guest the opportunity to take part in one of the Wine Bar’s wine tasting events. Wine Bar's monthly "wine tastings" where an expert on a featured region's wines comes in with 15-20 (or so) different bottles from a region of the world, and sets up stations for tasting. The bar's resident sommelier is usually in attendance, and it is a social occasion... people sign up - almost like a class. I hear it's a lot of fun and pretty informative. There are usually hors d'oevres and cheeses and finger food too!!!

2. A 3-month FREE Family Membership to the Lakeshore Athletic Club!!!


~Congratulations Mary C. Nelson~
