KaBoom! They built a playground!
On June 5, 2007, about 30 Brady volunteers braved torrential rains to build a play space for the Daniels-Mardak Boys & Girls Club. Employees along with other volunteers hauled 150 cubic yards of mulch, mixed and hauled three pallets of cement, assembled playground equipment, built benches, planted dozens of landscape plants and flowers, painted a mural, put up a fence and more.
"It felt great to do some work and see the results right away," said Mark Thomson, volunteer and technical service project manager. "While I used to think that I would never have time to volunteer, I have found I do have time to make a difference and I am proud to have been a part of this event."
The event was organized by the Brady Corporation Foundation, which also provides support for the Daniels-Mardak Boys & Girls Club.
"Encouraging employees to participate in these types of events shows that Brady has a sense of responsibility to the community," said Brandon Rosas, volunteer and finance intern. "Everyone should give it a try and see just how little it takes to make a difference for someone else."
Volunteers included Anita Arsiniega, Rick Baran, Rob Behlmer, Kurt Boyd, Tim Buntrock, Brien Christopherson, Jeana Church, Sandra Cutts, Erickajoy Daniels, John Davister, Tom Edwards, Amanda Fairbanks, Delores Gipson, Phillip Goralski, Emily Graf, Constance Grassold, Amy Haffner, Steve Hasbrook, Allan Klotsche, Maeve Maguire, Patrick McLane, Katie Milbeck, Scott Orcholski, Heidi Plato, Tony Plicka, Brandon Rosas, Tom Rowley, Julia Spankowski, Mark Thomson, Connie Timm, Jesse Warnke and Anisa Underwood.
"While it's difficult to get away from our day-to-day work, it is well worth it, especially when you see how much of a difference you can make in these children’s lives," said Maeve Maguire, volunteer and human resources representative. "Giving back to the community is one of the most important things we as employees can do." |
