MONROE - The 2017 American Family Insurance Championship, in its second year, raised $1,625,000 for charity, surpassing the 2016 total by $535,500. Proceeds from the event go to the Steve Stricker American Family Insurance Foundation for distribution to charities. One of those charities this year is the Monsignor Thomas F. Campion Charitable Fund, a component of the Community Foundation of Southern Wisconsin, which received $5,000.

The Campion Fund was established in 2011 to provide lasting support for charitable, cultural, educational and recreational programs or projects in southern Wisconsin and northern Illinois. The Fund supports many projects throughout Monroe including the Monroe Arts Center, the Monroe Lions Club, local schools, Jacob's Swag Foundation, Wisconsin Badger Camp and much more.

The Steve Stricker American Family Insurance Foundation was established in 2013 when Stricker became a brand ambassador for American Family Insurance. Its mission is to inspire and develop strong families and healthy kids so they can pursue their dreams.

The Community Foundation of Southern Wisconsin serves to match charitable donors with the needs of communities in nine southern Wisconsin counties.

The CFSW is a 501(c)(3) organization with assets in excess of $50 million. For more information on the CFSW, call 608-758-0883 or visit www.cfsw.org.
