Local teen organizes event to help the Homestead at Alder Cove!
Maggie Maddens
is a recent graduate from Gig Harbor High School whose life has been touched by
a family member in foster care. For
her Senior project at GHHS, she wanted to do something to help foster
children and help raise awareness and money for the Homestead so Maggie decided to organize
the 1st annual Mr. Tides event! She spent many long hours over the course of the school year on the project and
was met with many challenges while planning the event. In the end, the Mr. Tides event was a
huge success and it was with much joy that Maggie presented a check to Sue
Braaten to go towards the Homestead's building fund!
The Homestead's
board of directors would like to thank Maggie for all her efforts, and
encourage other supporters to think outside the box like Maggie did for
creative ways to spread the word about the Homestead! Here are a few suggested ideas how you can help:
