Salvation Army exceeds campaign goal

The Salvation Army of Milwaukee County has surpassed its Annual Christmas Campaign goal of $2.7 million dollars. The organization collected $2.9 million dollars.
“We are extremely grateful to Milwaukee County for the outpouring support of donations to meet and surpass our 2011 Red Kettle Christmas Campaign,” said Major Roger Ross, Salvation Army Milwaukee County Commander. “Contributions made during our annual Christmas Campaign will ensure critical needs of the unemployed, underemployed, homeless and others who often remain over looked are met.”
Here in Milwaukee County, The Salvation Army operates 85 programs that offer disaster relief, utility & rent assistance, employment services and summer lunch programs for children
Admission Possible officially changes its name
Admission Possible, the college access and success nonprofit organization, has officially changed its name to College Possible. The name change will support the growth of the organization as it expands in Milwaukee and nationally. 
“Our belief is that when college is possible, anything is possible and our new name fully captures that,” said Edie Turnbull, College Possible Milwaukee executive director. “We’re continuing our work to challenge cynicism through idealism and using our effective model to prove that your income level should not dictate your education level. We’re just doing it under a new banner.”
In recognition of the name change implementation, College Possible launched its new website www.CollegePossible.org as well as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn profiles earlier this week.
“We want to invite individuals from every walk of life to get involved in opening a world of opportunity for our young people, our families and our communities,” said Turnbull. “As we expand our intensive college access and success services, we will need partners in that work.”
