In 2009 the foundation was a sponsor of the Plunge: United La Crosse County to Prevent Underage Drinking. The Plunge was a day long event that hightlighted the problems and consequences of underage drinking. We had 13 presentations in various sites around La Crosse County. These included presentations by: law enforcement, medical staff, Senator Dan Kapanke, and many groups of students. Our keynote speakers were Nathan and Connnie Backstrom who lost 3 sons to a drunk driver. Cece was the chairperson and is very gratful to the Plunge commitee and all who participate.
