Speaking of "Atta boys!"

Speaking of "Atta boys!" there's a huge (humonguous, really) one that needs to go out, and that's to Braeger as a whole.

I don't know how many of you are familiar with how active Braeger is in the community. Even if you think you do know exactly how active we are, I think you'll be surprised. Beyond the widely popularized events like saving Western Days, and hosting the picnic for Lutheran Social Services and the foster families, Braeger is involved almost daily in making the community a better place to live, work, and raise a family. Maybe that's why the owner, Todd Reardon, was named "Citizen of the Year" in 2001 by the Milwaukee Police Association.

This is just a quick list of some of the organizations that Braeger is actively working with or contributing to:
1. West Allis Western Days
2. The CAP (Child Abuse Prevention) Fund
3. Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Milwaukee
4. Children's Hospital Foundation
5. American Red Cross
6. United Way
7. Several Veterans Organizations
8. Milwaukee Police Association
9. Milwaukee Police Supervisor Organization
10. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce
11. Journey House
12. Aicardi Syndrome Foundation
13. Prevent Blindness America
