LIFE Mower County is once again hosting two incredible fundraising events—the annual Rose Sale and the deliciously fun Beer, Bacon, and Beignets event. These fundraisers are vital in supporting individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) and their families in Mower County. As a privately funded nonprofit, LIFE Mower County does not receive state or federal funding, making community support through fundraisers like these essential.

Brighten someone’s day with roses

The LIFE Mower County Rose Sale is a great way to show appreciation for loved ones while supporting an important cause. Beautiful bouquets of red and lollipop (multicolor) roses are available for purchase, with proceeds benefiting LIFE Mower County’s programs and services. The deadline to order roses is Thursday, March 20, 2025. Volunteers are also needed to assist with sorting and distributing roses on Tuesday, April 8, 2025. If you are interested in ordering or volunteering, visit www.lifemowercounty.org/rosesale for more details.

Beer, Bacon, and Beignets – A tasty way to give back

If you love great food, drinks, and supporting a good cause, mark your calendar for Saturday, April 26, 2025! The Beer, Bacon, and Beignets fundraiser will take place from 1 to 4 p.m. at Packer Arena, featuring savory bacon-inspired bites, tasty beignets, and a variety of refreshing beers. This event is a perfect way to spend an afternoon with friends while supporting LIFE Mower County. Tickets and sponsorship opportunities are available at www.lifemowercounty.org/bbb.

Why these

fundraisers matter

Funds raised from these events allow LIFE Mower County to continue providing valuable programs and services to individuals with I/DD and their families. With no government funding, every donation, ticket purchase, and volunteer effort helps sustain and grow these critical services.
