Winter 2017: What's been happening at TNP

Ice Tee Classic Wrap Up

f7bacc89-5721-43a6-a814-741dd1680222.jpgAnother Ice Tee Classic has come and gone. The event, designed to raise awareness for the services that TNP provides, could not have been possible without its generous sponsor - UMR.  The event's 22nd year was held on January 28 in conjunction with the Wausau Events WinterFest 2017. 'Cool' fun was had by all.

Held in Yawkey Park, behind the Woodson YMCA, families playfully putted tennis balls around the mini-golf course hosted by area high-school groups. Despite poor snow quality, D.C. Everest FBLA's (Future Business Leaders of America) "Up" and Newman Catholic National Honor Society's  "Team USA" holes charmed kids and adults alike. In addition to golf, participants were able to vote for their favorite hole on a ballot that also doubled as a prize-drawing entry. In a thrilling result, the people's choice for favorite hole was a tie - congratulations to both student groups!

Ice Tee golfers were thrilled to be notified they were drawing-winners of either a movie night package donated by  Family Video, a  gift bag donated by  Politio's Pizza , or a  gift card donated by  Wausau on the Water (WOW). The Neighbors' Place is thankful to everyone - sponsors, hole hosts, volunteers, and, most importantly, the golfers - who made Ice Tee Classic 2017 possible.

Stock the Shelved Makes Incredible Impact

80fd6ba8-4aa0-4c98-ac12-d6e62eca6fe6.jpgStock the Shelves is the annual fundraiser for local food pantries hosted by USA TODAY NETWORK-Wisconsin newspapers, including the Wausau Daily Herald. All of the funds donated by readers stay in their local community, and The Neighbors' Place is privileged to have been one of the recipient food pantries again this year. T he statewide Stock the Shelves initiative raised $721,000; the total amount in Wausau was $64,971, spurred by a generous matching grant of $20,000 from  Mike and Mary Salsieder . The Neighbors' Place received $33,295.76 from Stock the Shelves. Thanks to the Wausau Daily Herald and the Gannett Foundation, the B.A. & Esther Greenheck Foundation and all the local businesses and donors who made this fundraiser a success.
