We appreciate your support for Mid-West Fastener Association’s FSTNR Week Sleep in Heavenly Peace bed build. On the morning of August 30th, as MWFA officially kicked off its 80th anniversary celebration, more than 100 volunteers gathered to build beds for local children in need. Thanks to the incredible generosity of our donors, we surpassed our original fundraising goal of $30,000 and raised an outstanding $34,000! These contributions allowed us to build 120 beds and provide mattresses and bedding to help ensure every child has a safe, comfortable place to sleep. We are deeply grateful to every donor and volunteer who helped make this event such a success. Together, we are continuing the #FastenerBedChallenge and supporting the Sleep in Heavenly Peace mission: “No Kid Sleeps on the Floor in Our Town.”

For 25 years, the memory of September 11, 2001, has remained part of our nation’s story. On this Patriot Day, BTM honors those who lost their lives, the heroes who ran toward danger and the everyday Americans who responded with courage, compassion and unity. May we continue to carry forward that spirit of service and stand together in remembrance. We will never forget.

MWFA launched the FSTNR Week off with a 100-bed build! A special thank you to Sleep in Heavenly Peace - WI, Racine/Kenosha for leading the build! We are always in awe of the support and love the fastener community shows each and every year!
