RbA of Greater WI Supports Windows for a Cause

One of Renewal by Andersen’s newest retail affiliates, Tundraland in Green Bay, WI, hosted its fourth-annual “Windows for a Cause” on September 10.

This unique giving event ties together the business of window replacement with beautiful local art, raising funds to benefit children who are part of the Make-A-Wish program.

“This is our second year partnering with Make-A-Wish. This year, we raised enough money to support four children, including Logan, who is such an amazing boy. It’s moving to see our team, our customers, and the community rally around him,” said Brian Gottlieb, CEO of Renewal by Anersen of Greater WI.

More than 50 windows removed during replacement projects were given a second life, painted by local artists, news personalities, staff, and others. The windows were sold during a live auction, silent auction, and raffle, raising more than $26,000 for Make-A-Wish.

Logan Bowers, a five-year-old kindergartner living with muscular dystrophy, helped entertain the crowd during the fundraiser. Although doctors predict he'll be wheelchair-bound by his teens, Logan ran circles around the event, switching in and out of a Captain America costume. He enthusiastically screamed “thank you” to attendees after event hosts shared that Logan and his family would be going to Disney World to see his favorite character, Pluto.

“I just love it, it’s great to give back and it’s also a lot of fun,” said Gregory Frederick, a local artist who painted a Milwaukee Brewers-themed, modern-art window live during the event.
