The First Nest Fest Fund-Raiser!On Saturday 6/24 The Heidi Krueger Foundation and Humble Sea Brewing Company held its first “Nest Fest” fund-raiser in Santa Cruz, and it was a tremendous success!
With over 450 people in attendance, three musical bands, five craft beer breweries, and some of the Best food and coffee in Santa Cruz County, it was a heck of a good time! More importantly, significant funds were raised that will help 3-4 college students with their education. In the 11 year history of Heidi's Foundation, this is the first "directed” fundraiser that we’ve engaged in, in that all funds raised will go to grants for applicants from a specific source. In this case, all funds raised from the Nest Fest will support applicants provided by the Digital Nest. Digital Nest will recommend several college bound students from their program, as applicants for potential grants from Heidi's Foundation. We will then apply our standard application criteria and employ our screening process to review and interview all applicants. Based on the Funds raised, we anticipate providing HKF grants for 3-4 Digital Nest applicants. The missions of Digital Nest and the Heidi Krueger Foundation are synergistic, in that both are helping students create a future for themselves and their families through education. Digital nest is a nonprofit organization that provides youth and young adults ages 12-24 with free access to computers, software, Wi-Fi, and a full range of state-of-the-art digital tools and classes. |
