The Whitewater Community Fundraising Partners (WCFP) is a 501(C)3 organization which was formed by the 1982 graduating class of Whitewater High School.  Since its inception 3 years ago, additional WHS alumni and community members have joined the group to help make an impact in the community.  The mission of Whitewater Community Fundraising Partners is to help individuals or organizations in need.  Each year WCFP works to help specific individuals or groups.  Throughout 2021, they will be raising funds to help the homeless youth in the Whitewater School District.

On June 10, 2021, WCFP hosted its second 10k/5K run beginning and ending at Starin Park.  Through sponsorships, community member’s donations, and participant donations, WCFP raised just over $4500.

WCFP would like to thank the City of Whitewater, Fairhaven Senior Living, Whitewater Register, Whitewater Banner, sponsors, and those who donated to make this possible.

For additional information on WCFP, please visit our website:  www.whitewatercfp.com.  You can also keep updated on all of our events on our Facebook Page:  Whitewater Community Fundraising Partners

Welcome back to #FlashbackFriday with the Whitewater Historical Society!

The Whitewater Historical Society doesn’t just include the city of Whitewater, but the entire Whitewater area! Here is an image from Heart Prairie (LaGrange Township) of the A.F. Campbell Store from around 1910. Rural stores such as this one were very important to local farm families that could now get food and supplies without going all the way to town. Campbell began by first selling his wares door-to-door, then purchasing the store building in 1908. He moved to Delavan in 1910, selling the shop to Wallace Dunham. Dunham owned and operated the Heart Prairie Store until at least 1918.

Join us next week for more from the Whitewater Historical Society collections!(2243PC, Whitewater Historical Society)​

The Whitewater Historical Society collects, preserves, and interprets the history of Whitewater and the surrounding area. Be sure to join us next week for more from the Society’s collections. Please “like” us on Facebook, and check out our website at whitewaterhistoricalsociety.org!​
