FCC Celebrates Reaching Bridges To Better Tomorrows Annual Campaign Goal

Family & Children’s Center (FCC) surpassed its $700,000 Bridges to Better Tomorrows’ goal in 2025! This outpouring of generosity from donors and community members ensures that FCC’s numerous programs will continue to prevent abuse, strengthen families, and treat mental illness throughout western Wisconsin and southeast Minnesota.

“It is incredible to witness the generosity of our friends and partners,” says Family & Children’s Center President/CEO Tita Yutuc, LCSW, LICSW. “Everyone’s story matters and every gift counts. By partnering with FCC, our donors are giving children, families, and adults a chance to start a new chapter with better tomorrows.”

FCC is still celebrating the investments from the Saving Lives Champions who kickstarted the Bridges to Better Tomorrows Campaign. Special thanks go to DASH Fund, Elmwood Foundation, Glendenning Family Foundation, Love Always Foundation, John Lyche, Otto Bremer Trust & Great Rivers United Way, Otto Bremer Trust & Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation, Jerry & Pat Papenfuss, Mike & Amanda Slaggie, Slaggie Family Foundation, and an anonymous donor who each gave $25,000 or more toward the annual campaign.

Additional heartfelt appreciation goes to Jerry & Marilyn Arndt, Bill & Cindy Berg, Binsfeld Family Fund, Cleary-Kumm Foundation, Comer Family Foundation, Dahl Automotive & Subaru Share The Love, Trust Point, Shawn & Mary Jo Werner, and three anonymous donors for giving at least $10,000.

Please mark your calendars to attend this year’s Bridges to Better Tomorrows event on October 22, 2026!
