The Modern Woodmen raised funds for two community needs during the holiday season.
An equipment fundraiser for SheDevil Softball featured at “Rock-a-Thon” on Dec. 17. The group raised $1330 with a matching grant from Modern Woodmen’s home office for a total raised of $2666.
Modern Woodmen volunteers also raised money for two families in need. The fundraiser for the families was the White Gables Luminaries sale. The fundraiser brought in $1442.82 with matching funds from Woodmen home office for a total of $2882.64.
The Matching Fund program offers Modern Woodmen members nationwide the chance to show their support for a community cause, organization or individual in need by holding fundraisers. Modern Woodmen matches up to $2,500. These fundraising projects contribute more than $6.5 million to community needs nationwide each year.
Coordinated by local Modern Woodmen members, chapters provided opportunities to connect through social activities and volunteer projects.
As a tax-exempt fraternal benefit society, Modern Woodmen sells life insurance, annuity and investment products not to benefit stockholders but to improve the quality of life of it stakeholders-members, their families and their communities. This is accomplished through social, charitable and volunteer activities. Annually, Modern Woodmen and its members provide more than $23 million and nearly one million volunteer hours for community projects nationwide.
