Help End Homelessness -Attend the 9th Annual Empowerment Challenge

MILWAUKEE, WI, – Hundreds of individuals and businesses will come together online between March 1^st-8^th for the 9^th Annual Empowerment Challenge. This online fundraising event raises money for The Cathedral Center (CCI) and offers a week-long opportunity for the community to join in celebrating women and support gender equality.

The Empowerment Challenge has $25,000 in match dollars thanks to The Peter Geisert Giving Fund and The Godfrey Family Foundation Trust. The challenge begins March 1^st and runs until March 8^th, which is International Women’s Day. During the week-long online fundraising event, CCI is challenging the community to accept the challenge by making a monetary donation to CCI or by signing up to make and serve a meal to the women and families with children who are experiencing homelessness that they serve every day of the year.

“We know that women and parents are often invisible in their homelessness, and we will continue our work to bring them inside safely while making advancements in gender equity, but we need your help,” said Donna Rongholt-Migan, Executive Director at CCI. “The Empowerment Challenge is one of our most popular annual events, and it’s one that truly helps us connect with the community. We are thrilled to partner with such generous donors who have contributed $25,000 in matching funds for this year’s Challenge, and we know with donations from the community we will hit our match.”

The Empowerment Challenge will take place March 1^st-8^th and can be found on CCI’s website, Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn pages.  All donations can be made by visiting http://tinyurl.com/CathedralCenter. For more information, please visit https://cathedral-center.org/ or call 414-831-0394.
