Each month we highlight a couple of our nonprofit partners who have unique fundraising events, great success stories, or something else fantastic going on that we’d like to tell you about. Next up in our nonprofit fundraising series, the nonprofit spotlight, is Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin and their Wisconsin Football Coaches Association All Star Charity Game (WFCA 09).

If Wisconsin could be any sport, it most definitely would be football.  The Wisconsin Football Coaches Association All Star Charity Game is held every year and honors high school and college players along with anyone who has been an outstanding contributor to the state of Wisconsin football program.  They invite players to compete by splitting the state into two teams, the North and the South, and then by division.  All players involved are required to fundraise for the Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin.  The game is Saturday July 18, 2009 and although they still have a few weeks left to fundraise they have raised over $73,000 already.  They have fundraised for the game for the past three years and have raised a total of $130,153 through Firstgiving so far; and this year has been their biggest year.

Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin is one of the leading pediatric care centers in the united states.  They Children’s Hospital is one of the 14 entities that make up the Wisconsin Health System.  Located right outside of Milwaukee the hospital was built in 1894, and has grown to be a leader in pediatric trauma and and houses over 70 speciality clinics.  Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin holds another big event in the fall; The Briggs & Al’s Run & Walk for Children’s Hospital.
