15th Annual Shredding Party: A Great Success for Community!
Our 15th Annual Shredding Party, held on May 1st, was a great success despite the “shredded” water that fell from the sky, thanks to robust community participation and generosity. Schulfer & Associates Wealth Management hosts the annual community service event at their 1417 Main Street office, where people may bring documents containing sensitive information to be shredded. The shredding service is provided by Express Recycling of Stevens Point. In exchange for the shredding, donations are welcomed with all proceeds benefitting Pacelli Catholic Schools, who has served the Central Wisconsin community for over 150 years! Aligned with our shredding theme, delicious shredded chicken sandwiches and shredded potato crisps were also sold.
2025 netted a respectable $4,034: the money will be used to purchase kindergarten through third grade reading and literacy programs, ensuring Pacelli Schools have the best resources for students and to comply with Wisconsin Act 20.
Collectively over $52,000 has been raised over the years, funding important projects chosen by Pacelli, including a security system for the front entrance of the high school, robotics kits for middle schoolers, playground equipment for preschoolers, math materials, new technology equipment, a new software system for the libraries of the schools, a Lü interactive playground, and much more.
At our afternoon event a few weeks ago, we collected, destroyed and recycled over 5,600 pounds of sensitive information. Cumulatively, that puts us at over 170,600 pounds of documents among the 15 years!
After the documents are shredded they are recycled into some of our most important daily paperwork: toilet paper! Those who bring their tax returns to shred are often delighted to hear the documents’ next job and let’s face it, there are some things that will never go paperless! Therefore, the recycled product of our shredding party brings the experience full cycle and adds a fun fact to the valuable event.

Thank you to all who came and who donated…. We’ll see you next year!
