Recent fundraising events for the Deerfield Satellite of Habitat for Humanity - Dane County:

• A successful raffle initially generated $3,700, but subsequently generated more funds as some of the winners donated all or a portion of their winnings back to Habitat.  The drawing was held at the Cuda Café.
• Income was also generated through a donation from the owners of Schuster’s Playtime Farm, who partnered with Habitat during their fall festivities.
• The design for the home to be built in Deerfield is taking shape as architectural drawings proceed.
• An informational meeting for potential homeowners was held on Oct.14 at the Deerfield Community Center.
• Local construction supervisors are in place for a spring “blitz build.”
• A brochure for local use is in the final stage of preparation.
• We received our first corporate gift of $5,000 over a three year period from the Bank of Deerfield.
