Ways to Help Waukesha Christmas Parade Victims

An evening that was intended for celebration and preparation for the holiday season turned into a nightmare at the Waukesha Christmas Parade. A red SUV drove through the parade, killing five people and injuring more than 45 others.

Our hearts are heavy for family and friends in Waukesha, those who are mourning the loss of their loved ones, and those with a long recovery ahead.

We remember the lives of:
• Virginia Sorenson, 79 year old female
• LeAnna Owen, 71 year old female
• Tamara Durand, 52 year old female
• Jane Kulich, 52 year old female
• Wilhelm Hospel, 81 year old male
• Jackson Sparks, 8 year old male

Now's the time to take action. We can come together as a community and help our neighbors and those affected by this tragic event. Below are some of the fundraisers and events that we've heard of. If you have any others, please let us know via our Facebook page, and we'll get them added to the list.
