BASE receives $2,750 donation from Johnson Financial Group

Johnson Financial Group has made a $2,750 donation to Badgerland After School Enrichment Program (BASE) as part of its continued annual corporate and event sponsorship support, according to information recently released by BASE.  

According to the release: Johnson Financial Group has supported BASE for many years with corporate sponsorships and event sponsorships. 

“We appreciate the continued support of Johnson Financial Group of our out-of-school time programs and special events. Support of local businesses like this allows us to keep our programs accessible to all kids and our special events successful,” BASE Executive Director Alicia Norris said. 

In addition to using the donation to support kids and families, Johnson Financial Group will be sponsoring BASE’s upcoming “Wings & Wheels Drive Thru Breakfast” on Sunday, June 6, from 8 a.m.  to noon, at the Fort Atkinson High School. A country-style breakfast prepared by Jones Dairy Farm will feature French toast, Jones sausage and Canadian bacon, coffee, juice and milk. All proceeds from this event will support out-of-school time programs.

BASE is accepting new membership applications for after school and summer programs for kids who are 7 years old and attend one of the Fort Atkinson School District’s elementary schools. The organization operates after school from 3-6 p.m. in the four public elementary schools and offers a full-day, 10-week summer program. BASE is also open on early-release days and select no-school days.

BASE relies on donations from the community to keep the program accessible to all youth. For more information about BASE, their special events or to donate, visit www.basefortatkinson.org, follow BASE on Facebook and Instagram.
