    “Our annual backyard movie night has become a neighborhood tradition! We ask for a small donation for popcorn and drinks, and it’s a simple, fun way for us to support NF Midwest and the cause that’s so close to our hearts.” — The Miller Family

    “I hosted a ‘Paint & Sip’ night at a local studio and donated a portion of the ticket sales. It was a great way to use my creative skills to give back and talk to people about why NF Midwest’s work is so important.” — Sarah, Local Artist
