More Community Involvement
Meaningful Mentors
Scott Fiedler and Jennifer Strawn of North Risk's Sioux Falls, S.D., office have stepped up to the #challenge of being a mentor. Last fall, the pair each committed to mentor a school-age child for four years through the Sioux Falls TeamMates mentoring program.
TeamMates’ mission is to inspire students to develop their full potential and realize a successful, meaningful life through mentoring. This program ensures stability in a child’s life. Each child receives time with their mentor weekly for fun activities and games or just to talk. Jennifer and Scott both look forward to spending time with their mentees each week. “You can’t believe how excited these kids get,” Jennifer says. Scott shared that his grade school mentee has taught him many things about hunting through their weekly hangouts.
The hope of TeamMates is to create a ripple effect through the generations. Since 1991, TeamMates of Sioux Falls has seen almost 100 mentees pay their experience forward by becoming mentors through TeamMates. Regarding Scott and Jennifer's experience serving their community as mentors, “many of us don’t know how privileged we are,” the two concluded.
Cycling for Childhood Cancer
This past September Mary Kay Andreen of North Risk's Plymouth, Minn., office ecstatically participated in her second Great Cycle Challenge and completed over 250 miles on her trusty 10-speed bike. The Great Cycle Challenge raises money for the Children’s Cancer Research Fund, a national, non-profit with a mission of ending childhood cancer.
In the Great Cycle Challenge’s six years of existence, riders from all 50 states have biked a total of 25 million miles and raised nearly 40 million dollars in support of research to develop better treatments and find a cure for childhood cancer.
Mary Kay reflects on discovering the challenge: “While I was first looking into this organization, one line stayed with me. Kids should be living life, NOT fighting for it.
It is easy to help the next person, neighbor, community, school. We all need help at some point in our lives. I feel lucky to work for a company that believes in mission work and serving others, as part of our core values.”
