That’s a wrap!
The second annual Gruffalo Walk head to head fundraising competition has come to an end. This year Lockwood Motors vs. Kruse Motors teamed up to raise over $2,600. Maxx Louwagie of Team Kruse dressed as the Gruffalo and made the walk down East College Drive to Main Street on the warm and blustery Wednesday afternoon of June 29, 2022 ending at the Wooden Nickel. He was accompanied by Al Castor of Team Lockwood.
The Gruffalo Walk has raised over $4,800 in the past two years to support the United Way of Southwest Minnesota (UWSWMN) Stuff the Bus initiative that helps provide local students with basic school supplies. This year supplies will be distributed to 23 schools within our service area so that students and their families can more easily focus on their academic success.
UWSWMN would like to thank everyone who supported this event, especially Lockwood Motors and Kruse Motors for their generosity and willingness to participate in the Gruffalo Walk.
United Way of Southwest Minnesota is an autonomous, local organization working to create lasting change in people’s lives and the communities we serve in Lincoln, Lyon, Murray, Yellow Medicine, and portions of Cottonwood, Lac qui Parle, Nobles and Redwood counties of Minnesota.
