Firecracker Freedom Run

July 5th, 2014. McFarland Wisconsin

“What better way to kick off the 4th of July weekend than with a family friendly Fun Run?”

McFarland’s favorite Fun Run is back! Formerly known as the “Firecracker 5000,” the Firecracker Freedom Run is returning in 2014 and will be bigger and better than ever! Over the years, the Firecracker has donated over $20,000 to McFarland schools through scholarships awarded and donations to the student needs fund. The Firecracker Freedom Run is excited to announce that the McFarland school district will once again be a recipient of funds raised.

This year, the “Firecracker Freedom Run” will also benefit a very deserving organization, Breast Cancer Recovery. Breast cancer is a horrible disease that affects everyone in one way or another. BCR is committed to improving the life of those fighting and recovering from breast cancer. Through wellness retreats and educational seminars, among other events, BCR’s commitment to stand with cancer patients is unmatched.

How Should I Prepare for My Funeral Preplanning Meeting?

By Darlene Kohn • December 6, 2024

First, relax. Talking about your funeral plans might make you a little uncomfortable at first but making a plan doesn’t mean you will be using it anytime soon. Your funeral director or advance planner will guide you through the process. Most people get very comfortable in just a few minutes.

It's Not Really a Funeral Plan If It's Not at the Funeral Home

By Darlene Kohn • December 6, 2024

Can I just say that funerals stick in the mind of a loved one years after a death? It’s important that you get it right. Please don’t put your wishes in the drawer with the rest of your files. Oh, and that thing where you tell the kids what you want. That’s not the best either.

Get Your Family Involved in Funeral Planning

By Darlene Kohn • June 21, 2024

When death is near or has just occurred, there are so many things to do and yet there is nothing you can do. You feel helpless. You can’t make the person well or bring them back. But you know you will, very soon, need to make many decisions about the service, the final resting place, the music, food, flowers, donations, clothing and much more. Your mind is racing and oddly enough, at the same time, at a complete standstill. On one hand it feels like it is too soon to do anything. You’re just not ready. But at the same time, you feel the weight of all that is coming.

Who Will Take Care of My Funeral Plans?

By Darlene Kohn • June 21, 2024

It is not uncommon for people to ask themselves, “Since I never had any children, who will take care of my funeral plans?” That is all the more reason to preplan your own funeral!

Preplanning Your Funeral in Your 60’s

By Darlene Kohn • June 10, 2024

According to a National Funeral Directors Association survey, more than half (62.5%) of us expect to participate in making our own funeral arrangements. And yet, less than a quarter of us have actually acted on that impulse. Not really so surprising since making funeral arrangements can literally be the very last thing we do. We can put it off right up to the end!

Should I Go To the Funeral?

By Darlene Kohn • June 10, 2024

Why should you attend a funeral? The presence of family and friends at the funeral is appreciated. We gather to acknowledge a life that was lived. We gather to comfort those for whom life has just been forever changed by the death of someone they loved.

Thinking About Skipping the Funeral?

By Darlene Kohn • June 10, 2024

Are you considering going to a funeral? Will you be a guest or, are you the survivor in charge and deciding if there will even be a funeral? Either way, before you just skip the funeral perhaps you should consider how elephants behave when one of their species dies. Perhaps we have something to learn from Dumbo.
