2001 Miracle on Canal Street Charity
December 20, 2001

Potawatomi Bingo presented $659,614.12 to this year's "Miracle on Canal Street" charities at a luncheon on December 20. In its eighth year, Miracle on Canal Street continues to raise money for local charities determined to improve the quality of life for local youth in Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Washington and Waukesha counties. Each charity was given a donation of $31,410.20 during a special check presentation in Potawatomi Bingo Casino's Northern Lights Theater. One of the 2001 Miracle on Canal Street charities this year was Wisconsin FACETS.

Wisconsin FACETS is planning to use the donation to support a Parents in Partnership training series, in Spanish, for Latino families of children with disabilities, to be held at Esperanza Unitas beginning in March; to create a handicapped accessible bathroom, provide resource materials and computer/Internet access for children with disabilities and their families in its Parent Resource Center.
