In the heart of Kimberly, Wisconsin, a small but vibrant town nestled in the beautiful Fox Cities region, there is an organization that has been making a significant impact on the community for over three decades. Kim-Com Promotion, a 501(c)3 nonprofit, was formed with the sole purpose of organizing and hosting the annual Paper Fest, a four-day music festival that has become a beloved tradition. Through their dedication and hard work, Kim-Com has not only provided an unforgettable experience for festival-goers but also raised over $1.1 million for the Fox Cities community. Let's delve into the story behind this remarkable nonprofit and the transformative power of Paper Fest.
A Celebration of Heritage and Community:
In 1989, Kim-Com Promotion came into existence with a unique vision in mind. They aimed to honor the 100-year anniversary of the Kimberly Mill, a historic landmark built by Kimberly-Clark, a global leader in paper products. Recognizing the rich heritage of the mill and its impact on the local community, Kim-Com organized the first Paper Fest as a celebration of this milestone. Since its inception, Paper Fest has become a highly anticipated event that attracts visitors from far and wide. The festival brings together renowned musicians, local artists, food vendors, and families, creating an atmosphere of unity, joy, and cultural appreciation. With a wide range of musical genres showcased, from rock and country to jazz and blues, Paper Fest offers something for everyone.Empowering the Fox Cities Community:
While Paper Fest is undoubtedly a time for celebration, it is also an opportunity for Kim-Com Promotion to give back to the Fox Cities community. Through the festival, they have successfully raised over $1.1 million in funds that are reinvested in various local initiatives and charitable organizations. The impact of these funds is far-reaching. Kim-Com Promotion has been able to support education programs, arts and cultural initiatives, environmental conservation projects, and social welfare efforts in the region. By investing in these areas, the organization helps create a more vibrant, inclusive, and sustainable community.
