Author's note: This is the third holiday season that I've helped out (mainly with press and e-mails) The Challengers- a local Milwaukee group of RLSH. Each year they try to gather donations of toys and art supplies to donate to two charities. We had a good success with it in 2010. 2011 was a little disappointing, but we're hoping 2012 will be the strongest year yet. All the info for this year's event is below. Happy holidays!

LOCAL “REAL LIFE SUPER HEROES” ON A CHRISTMAS CHARITY
MISSION
Superheroes to appear in person December 15 at Brewed Cafe
-December 5, 2012
Milwaukee’s team of “Real Life Super Heroes”-- The
Challengers-- are once again working on
their annual Christmas charity mission. Like the last two holiday seasons,
they’ll be making an in-person appearance to collect toys and art supplies for
two great local charities.
The
Gingerbread House is a charity in West Bend that
collects toys for low income families that need help buying gifts.
Meta House,
in Milwaukee, is a rehabilitation center for women and their families that has
a need for toys and art supplies for their art therapy programs.
The Challengers are using their time and flashy appearance
to help attract attention for these charities and collect donations for them.
Monetary donations will be used to buy more supplies to donate.
This year, there are multiple ways you can get a donation to
The Challengers:
In person: The Challengers will be making an in-person
appearance at Brewed Cafe (1208 E. Brady Street) on Saturday, December 15, from
11-4. They will be accepting donations of toys, art supplies, and cash. This is a
great chance to meet the “Real Life Super Heroes” in person and help them out
with their cause.
There is also a donation box set up at Blush Beauty Boutique
(249 N. Water Street) from now until December 15th where donations
can be dropped off anytime during business hours (Mon: 11-5, Tu-Sat: 10-6).
