NorthLakes Community Clinic’s 100 Who Care Ashland & Bayfield Counties at the Wild Rice Retreat, selected the Friends of the Apostle Island National Lakeshore to receive $10,000 — collected $100 from 100 members. Two additional finalists, Helping Paws Pet Rescue and the Washburn Meditation Center, received $1,750 each from the Dave Beeksma Memorial Fund.
The 100 Who Care chapters, founded and hosted by NorthLakes Community Clinic, are modeled after the national 100 Who Care Alliance movement. This initiative brings together members who pool their resources, learn about local community needs, and collectively decide where to direct their donations. It supports neighboring nonprofits that work to remove barriers to well-being and strengthen the community. For more information, please get in touch with Madelaine Rekemeyer at mrekemeyer@nlccwi.org.
