With the circumstances of the global pandemic, Ashley for the Arts, one of Wisconsin’s largest charity events, cancelled their 2020 event. The art and music festival, which has become an annual get-together for a number of area students, parents and volunteers, is a primary fundraiser for the more than 60 participating nonprofit organizations. After reviewing various nominations for a $10,000 grant, Ashley for the Arts has awarded the Independence School District the 2020 Ashley for the Arts Community Cares Grant.
“In light of not having an event, we still wanted to make an impact in the community,” stated Cole Bawek, event director. “Ashley for the Arts is focused on supporting educational, civic and nonprofit organizations that promote the arts, music, and broadening cultural horizons within our community.”
