Supporting Our Community: Join LRG’s Fundraiser for Wil-Mar Neighborhood Center

We take pride in staying connected to and supporting our local community. Giving back is at the heart of what we do, and throughout the year, we’re dedicated to participating in, sponsoring, and donating to causes that make Madison a vibrant and welcoming place to live.

This year, we’re thrilled to partner with other sponsors to raise funds for the Wil-Mar Neighborhood Center, a beloved community hub in Madison. Join us in helping Wil-Mar reach their goal to complete an outdoor garden project that will benefit youth groups by teaching them valuable life skills while growing fruits and vegetables.

About Wil-Mar Neighborhood Center

The Wil-Mar Neighborhood Center is more than just a gathering space—it’s a cornerstone of our community where people of all ages can connect, learn, and grow. Wil-Mar is the force behind some of Madison’s most popular events, including:

  • Willy Street Fair
  • Waterfront Festival
  • La Fête de Marquette
  • Orton Park Festival

Due to COVID-19, many of these cherished events have been postponed or scaled back, creating challenges for Wil-Mar’s fundraising efforts. That’s why we’re stepping up to help.


How Our Fundraiser Works

This earth-friendly fundraiser allows you to purchase spring blooms, herb garden kits, or gifts for loved ones while supporting a great cause. Here’s how it works:

  1. Browse the catalog: Visit the fundraiser page at WilMarSpringBlooms.fpfundraising.com.
  2. Place your order: Select your favorite items to spruce up your garden or gift to a friend.
  3. Give back: For every purchase, 50% of the profits will be donated directly to Wil-Mar Neighborhood Center.

Don’t have a green thumb? You can still contribute by making a direct donation to Wil-Mar here: https://wil-mar.org/donate.


Why This Fundraiser Matters

The funds raised will go toward Wil-Mar’s outdoor garden project, which provides:

  • A space for youth groups to learn gardening and sustainability.
  • Opportunities to grow fresh fruits and vegetables.
  • Hands-on education in teamwork, responsibility, and life skills.

By participating, you’re not only beautifying your space but also helping to create meaningful experiences for Madison’s youth.


Help Spread the Word

Even if you’re not interested in purchasing or donating, you can still support the cause by sharing this fundraiser with friends, family, and neighbors. The more people who know about it, the closer we get to achieving Wil-Mar’s fundraising goals.
