Father Fred Raises $58k, Receives Additional $25k

June 25, 2014

Supporters of The Father Fred Foundation raised $58,103 during the five-week long Art Van Charity Challenge, good enough for sixth place and an additional $25,000 grant from Art Van Furniture.

Organizations from all over the Midwest competed in the fundraising challenge, though Father Fred was the only northern Michigan charity. The donations will go toward Father Fred's housing assistance program with the grant further supporting housing efforts, as well as the food pantry and financial aid programs.
