Waukesha parade memorial, anonymous donor offers to match new gifts
WAUKESHA, Wis. - The Waukesha County Community Foundation announced an anonymous donor has offered to match new gifts – up to $15,000 – to the parade memorial fund from now until April 15.
The donor said the matching gift is in honor of Father Pat Heppe, who was injured in the parade attack, according to the foundation. Organizers said 100% of donations and the match will go directly to the Waukesha Christmas Parade Memorial Fund.
"We are so grateful for this special match challenge to help us complete the fundraising for the project," WCCF President Melissa Baxter said in a news release. "Our community continues to inspire us with their generosity and support."
