1st Annual Raffle & Rhythm Pathway Home Block Party

$0.00

We are excited to share the remarkable success of our first annual Pathway Home Block Party, held on Sunday, August 10, at the Rock Event Venue in Edge O Dells, Wisconsin Dells. Despite a rainy start to the day, the sun ultimately shone brightly on our event, contributing to a fantastic atmosphere filled with community spirit and support.

We were thrilled to showcase live performances from some exceptional local bands, including BAMM, Gary Frisch, Derek Ramnarace, and Abby Spencer and The Holler. Their music set the perfect backdrop for a day of fun and fundraising.

Food trucks from Peach Pops and Jose's Mexican Restaurant added delightful flavors to our gathering, ensuring no one went hungry. Additionally, local high school art students graciously volunteered their time for face painting, bringing joy to countless children in attendance. Yard games provided entertainment for families, making this a well-rounded event for all ages.

A significant highlight of the day was our raffle, which proved to be a tremendous success. We are incredibly grateful to over 70 local businesses and individuals who generously donated raffle baskets. Your support made this aspect of our event not only possible but also a wonderful opportunity for attendees to win unique prizes.

We extend our heartfelt appreciation to our lead sponsor, Ho-Chunk, whose extraordinary contribution of $5,000 played a crucial role in the success of our event. We would also like to recognize our other sponsors: Koenecke Ford, Royale Lawn Care, Sean Sweeney Realty, Reedsburg State Bank, Baraboo State Bank, and Dirty Foot Music. Your support was invaluable, and we couldn't have achieved this without you.

A special thank you goes out to all of our dedicated volunteers who generously invested their time and effort to make this event possible. Your hard work and enthusiasm were instrumental in ensuring everything ran smoothly, and we are deeply appreciative of your commitment to our cause.

We are proud to announce that, thanks to everyone’s contributions and participation, we raised just over $10,000! This funding will help us continue our mission and support the community.

We look forward to hosting next year’s event, and we will keep you updated on the date and details. Thank you once again for making our inaugural event a resounding success. We are grateful for the support of our community and can’t wait to see what next year brings!

Host a fundraising event

You say it's your birthday?

Your group can host an event to raise money for our shelter. Art show, car wash, spelling bee, brat stand... the possibilities are endless! Every little bit helps and each dollar goes directly towards our shelter.

You say it's your birthday?

Celebrate by opening your heart to giving. Instead of receiving one more coffee mug, crazy tie, or the ugly sweater that hangs in the closet, we invite you to have friends and family donate in your honor.

Create a Facebook fundraiser

Follow these easy steps to set up automatic donations to us.

In the upper right corner of your Facebook page there’s a white triangle. If you click on it a drop-down menu appears and about halfway down see “Create Fundraiser.” Click on that and a popup window appears.
In the window you’ll be given three choices. Click on the Non Profit tab and in the next window type BARABOO AREA HOMELESS SHELTER in the search bar. A tab for Baraboo Area Homeless Shelter will appear below. Click on it.
In the next screen, you’ll enter your goal. This is completely up to you. Then put the end date of the fundraiser. Facebook defaults to two weeks, but again this is up to you. Hit the next button.
Name your fundraiser and write a brief description. You can use the copy that is already in place, or you can write your own more personal message. Generally a personal message will have more impact.
On the final screen you can choose an image from the stock images they have or you can upload your own.
Finally, hit the create button and you’re done. As people donate to your fundraiser, Facebook will send you alerts to let you know. Make sure to thank them for their contributions - thank yous are just as important as the donation itself.
