Meet the Founder of the Woodbury Champions Program
April 1, 2024
Would you like to get involved in your community, meet some new folks and help out? With that simple thought, Jacques Peulen started the Woodbury Champions program to gather more volunteers for the Woodbury Community Foundation (WCF). “In the last year, we have had 80 great new members in our Champions program of which six or seven are new board members for the foundation,” he says. Peulen realized the need for new volunteers when he saw the same people volunteering with many organizations and events around Woodbury.
Peulen plays a vital part in organizing Friends’ Fest, WCF’s annual fundraiser. This year’s event is on April 26 and the goal is to raise $100,000. The funds gathered will help the WCF give grants to other organizations and help meet the needs of underserved families in the city.
