Christmas Wish...Bringing Christmas Cheer to Community Families

sherinowlan

A couple of years ago NUCA decided that another area we wanted to focus on was giving back to our construction community members in need. We recognized that there were families in our NUCA community that could use some extra Christmas cheer, so we started to direct money raised at our annual Cornhole tournament towards our program we named "Christmas Wish".


In our first year we raised over $1500 and were able to provide Christmas gifts to a family who had just lost their husband/father in a tragic accident. This year thanks to the amazing generosity of our members we raised over $2100 and were able to help brighten Christmas for not one but two families!!


One of this year's recipients was an inspiring single mom determined to start anew for the sake of her children, even moving into a new home just days before Christmas! They needed just a bit of extra support to get on their feet, and NUCA's executive team, Sheri Nowlan and Nichole Thrift, enthusiastically stepped in to shop for, wrap, and deliver presents to both the mom and her children, bringing joy and hope to their holiday season!



The other Christmas Wish recipient was a father who had endured burns covering over 60 percent of his body and is currently unable to work. The executive team again accompanied him to shop for his family. NUCA successfully provided not only delightful Christmas gifts for his children but also had funds remaining to purchase everything needed for a wonderful Christmas breakfast and dinner! All of this was made possible again from the donations of our wonderful membership and ALL who participate in the Cornhole Tournament.


We urge our NUCA members to distribute this information to their employees and families throughout the year, looking out for someone in their company or a family member who might benefit from a Christmas Wish during the holiday season. Nominations and donations can be made online at https://www.nucaewni.org/christmaswish. Another way to support your community is by participating in our Cornhole Tournament every October. You can find the dates by clicking on the EVENTS tab on our website as well.
