Take us up on the
Becker Challenge!
Madison Attorney, Don Becker of Becker Law Office, is so committed to improving lives he’s willing to put his money where his heart is. Becker will give $2 for every $1 raised up to $2500. The funds raised in this challenge will help us give more families access to quality, affordable child care. YWCA Rock County is one of two local agencies who have been
offered this opportunity; our friends and partners at
Community Action, Inc., are also beneficiaries. Community Action’s Becker Challenge gifts will support their Merrill Housing Initiative.
