Jen’s Sweet Treats in Cudahy decided to do something sweet for a couple of first responders on Saturday, Feb. 20.
The First Responders Women's Weekend Fundraiser allowed the community to give back through their appetites. The bakery is treating two families of first responders.
Rochester Assistant Fire Chief Cathy Wagner passed away earlier this month. Half of the sales made this weekend will be going to her family.
"Cathy had an amazing impact on the community," said Patti Andersen, a fundraiser volunteer. "She is an amazing woman, and she is definitely missed."
Folks hope that the money raised Saturday can help fund the college education for her two children, Caleb and Shelby.
"Shelby and Caleb, my heart goes out to them," said Jennifer Clark, owner of Jen’s Sweet Treats. "I did talk to them personally and see them at the funeral last week and her partner Jack as well. It's just heartbreaking."
