Friends, Food and Fun Fundraising Event for Ottawa Friendship House



Ottawa, IL - Proceeds from the Friends, Food and Fun fundraising event hosted March 10 have topped $55,000 in support of Ottawa Friendship House. More than $34,000 was confirmed as final numbers from ticket sales, raffles and live auction purchases were tallied. Additional funding was pledged by Linda and Mike Mussallem, the daughter and son-in-law of Jane McCormick, one of the agency's original founders.  Before the fundraising event's live auction performed by Matthew Bullock Auctioneers, event organizers announced that the Mussallems would match funds up to $20,000 generated from the evening. Their contribution ensures the Jane McCormick Home will be fully furnished for the six consumers slated to move in this spring.  www.fundraising-ideas.org
