PROFILES IN PHILANTHROPY As regional nonprofit organizations continue driving missions to improve everything from education to housing to the performing arts, their success is largely propelled by the support of the business community. That support takes many shapes. Some companies choose to give back through workplace campaigns that pool dollars from employees at all levels. Other business leaders and staff opt to bolster a nonprofit’s efforts by dedicating time and talent to its operations and programs. Other business executives still center their giving on board governance and oversight, lending their business acumen to the business needs of an organization. BizTimes Media devotes a segment of its weekly coverage to the ties between companies and nonprofits throughout southeastern Wisconsin. Within the 2016 Giving Guide, BizTimes has woven together a collection of profiles shining a light on the TIME, TALENT AND TREASURE donated by area business leaders, employees and companies as a whole. Each profile demonstrates the kind of impact that can be made when for-profit and nonprofit sectors collaborate with a common goal. Each profile also aims to inspire readers to step outside the walls of their workplace and contribute to a community cause that aligns with their passions. — Profiles written by Alysha Schertz and Erica Breunlin.

PROJECT SEARCH
Cultivating an inclusive workforce BY ERICA BREUNLIN, staff writer
I
n the span of nine months during his last year of high school, Marcus Ryczek mastered the art of distributing medical supplies, operating a forklift and delivering mail.
Ryczek, who has a learning disability and speech impairment, was among the pioneering students in the Project SEARCH pilot program in Wisconsin. The transitional program, first developed at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center in 1996, equips young adults who have disabilities with hard and soft job skills needed to secure and succeed in long-term employment. Students polish their employment skills by filling real positions in real workplaces that agree to function as program partners. Since its inaugural year in Wisconsin – 2011 – Project SEARCH has rapidly expanded statewide and gained momentum through
Gov. Scott Walker’s Blueprint for Prosperity Initiative. By 2017, the program is slated to have a presence at 27 worksites, thanks to an $850,000 investment from the state. In southeastern Wisconsin, Project SEARCH worksites include Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin, Waukesha Memorial Hospital and Froedtert Hospital – thanks to program partner Easter Seals Southeast Wisconsin. The Milwaukee County Zoo is another regional program host with partner Goodwill Industries of Southeastern Wisconsin Inc. Beth Lohmann, workforce development director at Easter Seals, has devoted the past 15 years of her career to helping people with disabilities find gainful employment. Within those 15 years, Lohmann was a force in launching Project SEARCH’s first regional sites. “I’ve never seen a program that’s been so successful like this,” Lohmann said. Since 2011, more than 75 percent of the 64 Project SEARCH graduates in programs run by Easter Seals have obtained employment after completing the full nine weeks of internship experience, according to Lohmann. She largely points to the commitment of the participating businesses and collaboration among a cross sector of partners as key drivers of the program’s success. During the course of Project SEARCH programming, student participants work six-and-a-half hours each weekday at their assigned workplaces. Each student fulfills three different internships so that he or she can be exposed to a variety of skillsets and learn increasingly more complex tasks. Each student is surrounded by an entourage of support, including a workplace mentor and a job coach affiliated with the partnering nonprofit organization. After Jean Schultz, director of community benefit at ProHealth Care Inc., first observed Project SEARCH in action at Children’s Hospital, she became “absolutely enamored with the program,” she said. While helping facilitate the program at Waukesha Memorial Hospital, she has observed all kinds of changes in students. Some emerge from a shell, she said, while others already bursting with energy learn appropriate conversation and tone. The program has had an equally dramatic effect on internal staff,

according to Schultz. “I think it has helped us to change our culture into one that is more accepting, more inclusive,” she said. “I think our hearts are softened because of the impact of these interns and their families.” For Ryczek, who interned at Children’s Hospital, the program has led directly to a viable career. Today, he is a full-time employee in distribution services at Children’s Hospital, building on the self-confidence he developed through Project SEARCH. Both he and his mom, Kathi Ryczek-Ebner, remain loud advocates of the program.
AFTER COMPLETING PROJECT SEARCH, RYCZEK NOW WORKS FULL TIME IN DISTRIBUTION AT CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL. (COURTESY PROJECT SEARCH)
“I think it’s important because it shows that everyone can go out there and work,” Ryczek said. “It’s definitely a vital necessity in our state and in our region,

because without Project SEARCH, a lot of people would not have opportunities to have self-sustaining employment, particularly persons with disabilities,” Ryczek-Ebner said.
THE GREATEST ASSET WE HAVE IS OUR COMMUNITY. That’s why we’re proud to be nominated for the Nonprofit Excellence Awards.
IS HELPING OUR COMMUNITIES MOVE FORWARD.

Mikulay’s drive makes big dreams a reality for more Milwaukee students BY ALYSHA SCHERTZ, for BizTimes
S
usan Mikulay doesn’t do anything halfway. When she’s in, she’s all in. For the past three-and-ahalf years, Mikulay has been all in for College Possible Milwaukee. College Possible is a nonprofit organization dedicated to making college admission and success a possibility for all students. “Edie (Turnbull, executive director of College Possible) runs a great organization, she’s a terrific executive director and my goal is to continue to work hard to share the mission of College Possible throughout the Milwaukee community,” Mikulay said. Mikulay, an independent communications and business development coach and consultant, specializes in corporate message managing – in helping firms decide the best message and the best way to disperse it. For two years, she has served as the chairman of the board of directors for College Possible Milwaukee, and has undertaken the mission of spreading its message and raising more awareness for its cause.
SUSAN MIKULAY AT THE COLLEGE POSSIBLE DREAM BIG DINNER IN 2015.
In 2013, Mikulay helped form the organization’s flagship fundraising event, The Dream Big Dinner. The event, held every April, brought together more than 400 people in support of College Possible in 2015, and it continues to grow. “I can’t emphasize the impact Susan has had on College Possible Milwaukee enough,” Turnbull said. “She leads the board by example – being the first to step up and help us open doors with potential funders and community leaders. She was the driving force behind the creation of our signature fundraising event, the Dream Big Dinner held every spring, which has raised our profile in the community significantly, and increased the number of individuals who are now connected to our mission. She was appointed to chair the leadership committee of the organization because she exemplifies what a good board chair is – engaged, active and committed.” Mikulay earned the Marty Stein Friend of Service Exemplary Supporter award in the 2015 Governor’s Awards for Service for her work in the community. Since becoming involved, she has helped the organization raise close

to $1 million in donations from local corporations and foundations. “Because Susan believes 100 percent in the work we are doing and in the bright futures of our students, she is our number one ambassador in the community,” Turnbull said. “When she talks to opinion leaders and philanthropists, her passion for our program convinces them that they, too, should be involved in our work. She exemplifies the College Possible ‘idealistic leader trait’ of eyes on the prize – always focused on what is needed to help our students earn college degrees. She is our champion, and we couldn’t ask for better.” “The more college graduates we have, the better our community will be,” Mikulay said. Mikulay was the youngest of 10 children, and was fortunate to be able to go to college, graduate and work in a city like Milwaukee, she said. “I just want to help make sure these students have the same opportunities,” she said. “I’m just not going to stop until that happens.”

SIXTEEN INCH SOCIETY
– T I M E • TA L E N T • T R E A S U R E
Childhood game raises needed funds for Milwaukee-area organizations BY ALYSHA SCHERTZ, for BizTimes
A
nyone who grew up in Chicago in the 1950s probably fondly remembers a game of 16-inch softball.
Patrick Murphy, adjunct professor at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Lubar School of Business and former principal at Milwaukee management consulting firm P.J. Murphy & Associates, certainly can. That’s why he and a group of transplanted Chicago natives in Milwaukee formed The Sixteen Inch Society in 2012. Each year, the society organizes a 16-inch softball game to benefit a local nonprofit organization or charity. The game is held on the second Sunday in June at Milwaukee’s LaFollette Park. “It’s really about community,” Murphy said. “We try to make the day special for the organization, and just get together and have a good time playing a game we all love from our childhoods.” The game is played with an enlarged softball, pitched at an elevated are and fielded without gloves, Murphy said.
THE WINNING TEAM IN 2013 WITH THE MARY ANDERSON MEMORIAL TROPHY.
The Sixteen Inch Society has raised more than $140,000 for local organizations over the past 14 years, and its popularity is growing. One hundred percent of all money raised goes to support the chosen organizations, Murphy said. Anyone can play, and everyone is encouraged, but not required, to make a donation to that year’s designated organization. Teams are selected in the Chicago schoolyard tradition. Organizations that have benefited from The Sixteen Inch Society games in the past include: Bridging the Gap Learning Center; Pius High School; Basilica of St. Josephat Grade School; House of Peace; Marquette Law School Outreach Program; St. Ben’s Meal Program; Jay Balcunas Scholarship Fund; The Benedict Center; Repairers of the Breach; The Miracle League of Milwaukee; Messmer Catholic Schools; Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation; and St. John’s Cathedral and Open Door Cafe.
in designating the organization to benefit from the funds the following year. “Each organization we support has such a unique story,” Murphy said. “People are invited to come out and support the organization, play the game or just enjoy the atmosphere we create.” Each player receives a complimentary t-shirt and refreshments and Chicago-style hot dogs are provided for those participating by Martino’s. Martino’s has graciously supported the organization’s efforts since its inception, Murphy said. The winning team is presented with the Mary Anderson Memorial Trophy, named for the former owner of Martino’s, who passed away in March 2009. The trophy, complete with a photograph of the winning team, is displayed throughout the year at Martino’s, 1215 W. Layton Ave. in Milwaukee, Murphy said.
The designated organizations must have a Chicago connection, Murphy said. That connection usually comes in the form of a person – a board member or employee somehow connected to Chicago and/or 16-Inch softball.
“We have great people who help make this event possible,” Murphy said. “Mary was a wonderful friend of the organization. Her son, TJ, and his wife, Cathy, carry on his mother’s tradition.”
Anyone making a financial contribution of $100 or more earns the right to nominate a charity and become a voting member
Regis Welsh produces the shirts for the organization every year, Murphy said.

Associated Bank makes longstanding commitment to Habitat for Humanity BY ALYSHA SCHERTZ, for BizTimes
I
n April, Associated Banc-Corp. purchased $2 million in residential loans and mortgages from Milwaukee’s Habitat for Humanity. In 2014, Associated Bank purchased more than $1 million in mortgages from Habitat for Humanity in Green Bay. The sales free up resources for Habitat for Humanity and allow the organization to focus on providing even more support and resources for the community. According to Craig Hahn, director of portfolio risk in Associated Bank’s Milwaukee office, the company’s commitment to Habitat for Humanity extends beyond just financial support. “Associated Bank has a rich tradition of providing superior financial services to the communities we serve,” Hahn said. “Our commitment to Habitat for Humanity and its mission is an extension of that. We’re interested in strengthening the communities we serve.” In addition to financial support, Associated Bank employees contributed more than 650 volunteer hours in 2014 and have already contributed 830 hours in 2015 to Habitat for Humanity, Hahn said. Employees work side-by-side on job sites to build new affordable houses and rehab foreclosures into safe, decent homes for the community. Associated Bank expects its employees to contribute more than 2,500 volunteer hours over the next five years. “We’re very involved throughout the entire footprint of the company,” he said. “It’s a cause and a mission all of our employees throughout all levels of the organization can get behind and support.” Hahn was named to the Habitat for Humanity Milwaukee board of directors this year. In Milwaukee, Habitat plans to use Associated Bank’s funds to support its five-year revitalization initiative in the Washington Park neighborhood. “The success of our neighborhood revitalization efforts relies on partnerships with businesses and organizations that have a strong commitment to building our community,” said Brian Sonderman, executive director of Milwaukee Habitat. Milwaukee Habitat relies on several funding sources, including charitable donations from businesses, foundations and community members; profits from its Habitat ReStore resale stores; and

mortgage payments from partner family homeowners. To become a Habitat homeowner, partner families must go through a screening process and are required to put up to 500 hours of “sweat equity” into their homes or other Habitat homes. They spend the majority of this time on the construction site, building their homes and the homes of their neighbors. Sweat equity also includes a financial education component to ensure families are ready for the challenges of balancing day-to-day expenses with monthly mortgage payments, as well as a community engagement requirement, so the families have a better understanding of the neighborhoods in which they will live. Cora Haltaufderheid, executive director of Habitat for Humanity Green Bay, has been working with Associated Bank for more than 10 years, she said. “Associated Bank supports our organization in immeasurable ways. They not only support us financially, their employees support us with their knowledge and expertise as members of our board of directors. They volunteer for us and work with us in many areas of the organization.” The company’s involvement lends credibility to the organization, Haltaufderheid said. “To have a company of that stature supporting your organization and your mission allows us to go beyond just telling our story,” she said. “It allows us to really reach people and really focus on the communities we serve.”

40-hour work week takes on new meaning for Boelter + Lincoln BY ALYSHA SCHERTZ, for BizTimes
M
ilwaukee-based Boelter + Lincoln Marketing and Communications celebrated 40 years in business this past April. The firm celebrated with an internal get-together and team activities, but also decided to commemorate 40 years in business by giving back to the community it has called home. The firm created the 40-Hour Work Week program, and invited area nonprofit organizations to submit applications to receive 40 hours of pro bono work from the company. The firm had 26 applications, and Milwaukee-based Pathfinders, an organization dedicated to providing all youth in Milwaukee the opportunity to live a safe, happy and successful life, was selected. “We chose Pathfinders for a variety of reasons, but we did feel like it was the best fit for the kind of work that we do,” said Andy Larsen, partner at Boelter + Lincoln. “We felt like we could do something for them that would really truly have an impact on their mission.”
BOELTER+LINCOLN TEAM MEETING REGARDING 40-HOUR WORK WEEK CAMPAIGN FOR PATHFINDERS MILWAUKEE.
The firm created public relations and social media plans for Pathfinders, and also did some consulting work on the process so the plans were easily managed and sustainable internally, Larsen said. They also created three “Finding the Voice Within” videos for the organization that highlighted its annual fundraising event: Taking it to the Streets. “The videos were incorporated into the social media plan leading up to the main event, and were also highlighted at the event,” Larsen said. The annual fundraising event raised $82,000, 13 percent more than the previous year’s event, according to Genise Lindner, director of development and communications at Pathfinders. “The videos were directly related to the fundraising event, and I think they, without question, helped get people excited about the cause and the mission of Pathfinders,” Larsen said. “By all metrics, it was a successful effort and a win-win for everyone involved.” The campaign served as an eye-opener for many, including people at the firm, Larsen said. “Some of the things we learned about our city during this work were somewhat shocking, but it really moved us and made us feel even better about the work we were able to do for Pathfinders,” he said. In total, the company donated more than 40 hours of work worth between $10,000 and $15,000, Larsen said.

John Lincoln opened Boelter + Lincoln on April 1, 1975 with three employees. Today, the company has 25 employees and six partners, but according to Larsen, giving back to the community has been a longstanding focus of the company. “It’s a big part of who we are,” he said. “We’ve been here in Milwaukee for 40 years and the vast majority of our clients are local. We feel very connected to Milwaukee.” There are no current plans for Boelter + Lincoln to formalize the program, but the firm won’t shy away from continuing to give back. “We’ve been doing pro bono work for the community since the beginning,” Larsen added. “This campaign was more formal, but it’s a nod to the legacy our founders created, and it is just in keeping with the general culture here.”

hen Darlene Wise completes her General Education Development tests, she will be the first of her mother’s seven children to secure a high school-level education through a traditional track. The day she holds her diploma in her hands, she will be among the “happiest” people in Milwaukee, she said. Wise, a lifelong Milwaukee resident, is pursuing her GED with help from Literacy Services of Wisconsin, a Milwaukee nonprofit that educates adults who have struggled academically so they can live more independent and productive lives. Wise is one of about 400 students who walk through the doors of Literacy Services each week for assistance in English language learning, adult basic education programs, GED preparation, computer literacy, financial literacy and workforce readiness. Students pay a one-time fee and in return receive one-on-one tutoring for as long as they need to achieve their literacy goals.

Wise began attending tutoring sessions at Literacy Services’ current Plankinton Avenue location in March 2014 so she could fulfill her GED, expand her career options, and assist her own children and grandchildren with mastering reading and language. Wise takes lessons at Literacy Services three different times per week, working with three assigned volunteer tutors who guide her through reading passages, sets of questions related to those passages and writing exercises. Among Wise’s tutors is Beth Gosnell, an account manager at Travelers Insurance in Brookfield who devotes an hour-and-a-half each week to literacy coaching. Gosnell, now in her third year of volunteering at the center’s current location, loves to read and said it’s hard to imagine anyone not being able to read. She enjoys tutoring for Literacy Services as much as she enjoys reading and finds her volunteer experience a rewarding one. “It’s like helping people understand daily things that everybody needs,” Gosnell said. Wise’s relationships with her tutors are “fabulous” and “wonderful,” she said, as they work patiently with her word by word and page by page. Thanks to Literacy Services’ brigade of tutors, the center has the ability to personalize learning for its scores of adult

students, according to staff. “It’s crucial that we have volunteer tutors, because we rely on the tutors to assist us with the daily incoming of students,” said Bianca Ortiz, assistant director of Adult Basic Education. “We wouldn’t have the staff support to access as many students as we’re able to with volunteer support.” More than 300 volunteer tutors, many of them from the region’s business community, currently donate their time and talent to the center. Beyond helping students excel in literacy, tutors’ support often heightens students’ sense of confidence, according to the organization’s executive director, Ginger Duiven. “I also hear very commonly that students improve their confidence and self-esteem, and that’s a really big sort of secondary outcome,” Duiven said, adding that the transformation can be a physical one, as improved literacy skills lead to stronger posture and better eye contact. Tutors’ drive to help students chart better futures by building up literacy skills has in many instances left her “speechless,” Duiven said. “These folks are really selfless and reliable, and they have amazing character and amazing capacity and compassion,” she said. “They’re really sort of the unsung heroes of our community.”

Investing talent in future talent BY ERICA BREUNLIN, staff writer
T
hree Novembers ago, Jennifer Bartolotta walked out of St. Marcus School’s Benefit Gala set on one life altering decision.
Bartolotta, now chief executive officer of Train-2-Gain and director of the Bartolotta Restaurant Group’s Care-alotta, left the gala compelled to take a bold step outside the restaurant group she had spent nearly a decade in, working closely beside her husband, Joe. Jennifer’s firm decision followed an evening of inspirational speeches by St. Marcus students – many from challenged backgrounds – who talked about the need to work hard in life and make big, bold moves. As Jennifer sat in the audience listening, one word came to her: hypocrite. After a stretch of time of being comfortable, she was ready to be bold, recalibrate, and pursue a new personal and professional path. She declared her resignation that night. The inspiration the Bartolottas have drawn from St. Marcus School has kept them engaged in its mission to prepare students from low-income households for high school, higher education and community leadership. For the past five years, the Bartolottas have underwritten the cost of the school’s annual gala, which amounts to at least $40,000 each year. Along with donating all food to the event, they also staff it with 40 volunteer servers. Jennifer credits St. Marcus as her “entrée” into urban education reform, as she now supports success in education across school sectors.

“It’s just such an amazing place,” Jennifer said of St. Marcus. “When you look at that zip code and you look at the residents, it’s easy to make assumptions until you get in there and learn.” To have a place where kids can go to be served, pushed and shaped into amazing human beings is “so inspiring to me,” she said. Outside of the gala, Jennifer and Joe have become consistent advocates for St. Marcus and helped spread awareness of the school by introducing friends and colleagues to its work. The two are among the greatest connectors, according to Christine Safranek, director of mission advancement at St. Marcus School. “They are unabashedly willing to be a vocal advocate for those organizations that they’re passionate about and whom they feel are improving the City of Milwaukee,” Safranek said. In addition to support from the Bartolotta Restaurant Group and
its philanthropic arm, Care-a-lotta, St. Marcus School benefits from the time, talent and treasure of other community partners, including Kohl’s employees, Palermo’s, Kapco Metal Stamping and PNC Bank. Knowing that someone outside St. Marcus’ walls cares enough to actively invest in improving the school is an “amazing motivator” for teachers and students, Safranek said. She believes that area businesses should find a way to be “intensely involved in education at every level.” “We’re educating our future workforce, and there’s so much data out there to say if you do it well and you do it early we will have a very functional workforce,” Safranek said. “It’s a hard lesson for this city to learn.” It will take an “army” of interested advocates and investors to brighten the state of education in Milwaukee, she added.

He settled on Charity Days, a way for people to support organizations in the community by allowing them to make cash donations to specific organizations, with the company matching those donations in services. He hopes to expand Charity Days and inspire other companies in the Milwaukee community to give back in similar ways. Kiekhofer’s work is a reflection of the culture at the company, he said. The entire staff regularly gives of their time and talent, and does so without wondering if they are going to get paid. “Our employees really do my heart a lot of good,” he said. “Everyone needs to pay bills, but they are all very willing to give.” Front Room Photography has formalized Charity Days and has been hosting it for the past four years. In 2016, the company hopes to be able to offer paid time off to do community work, Kiekhofer said. “The overall mission of United Way is ‘Live United,’ and I think that extends beyond just their organization,” he said. “It’s a way of life.

Johnson Controls remains committed to helping victims of Hurricane Katrina BY ALYSHA SCHERTZ, for BizTimes

n 2005, Hurricane Katrina devastated the Gulf Coast and displaced hundreds of thousands of people from their homes and communities. Glendale-based Johnson Controls Inc. stepped in and offered assistance and financial support to victims and continues to do so today, ten years later, with annual contributions. To date, Johnson Controls has contributed more than $1 million to help fund the Tulane City Center, a nonprofit building design organization founded by the Tulane School of Architecture to rejuvenate its community. In 2005, Johnson Controls helped Tulane University rebuild and resume classes within five months of Hurricane Katrina. “Ten years ago we stood on a flooded campus – our students and staff were displaced throughout the country,” said Yvette Jones, executive vice president for university relations and development at Tulane. “Together with partners like Johnson Controls, we made a commitment to resume classes within five short months. Our community needed Tulane back up on its feet and we had to deliver on our promise.” Johnson Controls worked with Tulane officials to provide the right resources for the university. Emergency generators supplied more than 12 megawatts of power to get restoration under way, and electrical and mechanical systems across the uptown campus were rebuilt. The company went on to improve the energy and operational efficiency throughout the uptown campus, and Johnson Controls employees worked onsite to ensure optimal building performance. “Tulane needed help then, and New Orleans continues to need help today. We proudly have committed $1 million to help revitalize the community with projects that advance the lives of Louisiana residents and their families,” said Bill Jackson, president, Building Efficiency at Johnson Controls. Tulane’s City Center, with the help of Johnson Controls’ financial commitment, has successfully implemented more than 80 projects that promote education and advocacy throughout the city of New Orleans. Projects include the Grow Dat Youth Farm, an urban garden that produces more than 10,000 pounds of food for local residents each year, and the Parisite Skate Park, which has helped more than 5,000 young people channel their energy and athletic skills in a safe, recreational environment. “Johnson Controls’ Hurricane Katrina rebuilding efforts is just one example of our commitment to supporting local communities

THE CHEEL
Hope for Nepal BY ERICA BREUNLIN, staff writer
A
s Nepal continues to recover from an April earthquake that claimed more than 8,000 people, Barkha Limbu Daily will continue adding to the thousands of dollars she has raised for the survivors rebuilding their lives. Limbu Daily, a native of Nepal’s capital, Kathmandu, is owner and executive chef of The Cheel, a Himalayan restaurant in Thiensville. She launched a fundraising campaign shortly after the earthquake to help victims immediately. The campaign, known as Hope for Nepal, initially set out to raise $10,000. To date, the campaign has collected more than $17,500, all of which Limbu Daily has routed to Nepal. “When you have a natural disaster like this, it’s not like you help for a few minutes or a few days or a month and it’s done,” Limbu Daily said.

Many of Limbu Daily’s family members and friends still live in Nepal and, along with other survivors of the natural disaster, still live in devastation, she said. Access to transportation, clean water, food, shelter and electricity remain challenges, particularly as political and economic unrest within the country compound daily life struggles, she added. Limbu Daily decided to collect funds for earthquake survivors in order to inspire the greatest impact on recovery efforts. Rather than sending food, tents or other supplies to the country – which would have proven difficult with shipping and customs costs and lack of a strong regulation system – she wanted to get donations right into the hands of survivors and “give power to the people on the ground.”

Amazon fulfills teacher wish lists BY ERICA BREUNLIN, staff writer
D
uring most school years, teachers like Christina Miller and Ashley Lesko pour hundreds of their own dollars into their classrooms in order to keep them well stocked with school supply essentials. For Lesko, a second grade teacher at Kenosha’s Jefferson Elementary School, the personal classroom investment easily exceeds $500 each year. This school year, that financial burden has been lifted for both Lesko and Miller – an early education teacher at Jefferson Elementary – and for their colleagues. With a deep desire to give back to the community it now calls home, Amazon’s new Kenosha fulfillment center surprised 23 Jefferson Elementary teachers with $10,000 worth of school supplies in August to kick-start their school year. “We’re committed to be an active member in the community,” said Brian Urkiel, general manager of the fulfillment center. “We’re constantly looking for ways to partner with (and) to give back to the communities where our associates live and work.”
AMAZON ASSOCIATES HELPED FULFILL THE WISH LISTS OF KENOSHA TEACHERS AT THE START OF THE SCHOOL YEAR. (AMAZON)
Urkiel said the Kenosha community has been very “welcoming” to Amazon’s fulfillment center, a 1 million-square-foot facility that became operational in June. “It felt very good to be able to give back to the community that’s been so good to us,” he said. To prepare Jefferson Elementary School teachers and students for the school year, Seattle-based Amazon donated two boxes brimming with classroom essentials to each teacher. Donated items included folders, notebooks, pencils, pens, erasers, tissues, hand sanitizer, pencil sharpeners, cardstock, construction paper, glue sticks, Clorox wipes and animal crackers. On the day teachers received their gifts, Lesko said she felt as though she had appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Amazon amped up the surprise of its donation by helping arrange a special ceremony in the school’s gymnasium. School administrators called the teachers down to the gymnasium after a morning of meetings and training sessions. There, they were greeted by school district leaders, school board members, local officials and closed curtains in front of the school stage. Urkiel took the stage to talk to teachers about Amazon’s work at its local fulfillment center and about the struggles of teaching before the curtains opened to reveal a stage of boxes and smiling Amazon associates. “It was kind of overwhelming because I know myself, personally, you don’t have the finances needed to keep your classroom as
stocked as it should be or could be,” said Lesko, who was moved to tears by Amazon’s generosity. Donated supplies will likely last the entire school year for the elementary school teachers, according to Miller, who said Amazon made her feel more “appreciated and valued as a teacher.” The donations also mean teachers can have a little more freedom when lesson planning and now have one less task to think about during the daily grind of educating their students – many of whom come from low-income households. “Just knowing that those supplies are there that we can use – it’s a huge stress reliever,” Lesko said. Giving back to teachers was not the first education-focused initiative Amazon took on in Kenosha. Earlier this year, the company partnered with an Indian Trail High School and Academy art class to develop a sculpture that now welcomes fulfillment center employees at the facility’s entrance. The company also gave tours for high school students through the fulfillment center before its completion. Community philanthropy, no matter a company’s size, is critical, according to Urkiel, who said it shows a company is a good community neighbor and cares about the place where its employees have planted roots. “It’s the right thing to do,” he said.

FIRST BUSINESS BANK-MILWAUKEE
A big swing for charity BY ERICA BREUNLIN, staff writer
W
hile golf outings have become a popular fundraising vehicle for individual nonprofit organizations, First Business Bank-Milwaukee has adopted a different way of giving back on the green. For the past two years, the bank has organized and underwritten the First Business Golf Invitational for Charity, an event that challenges regional business owners’ golf game for the benefit of regional nonprofits. The event, which replicates a charity initiative launched in the bank’s Madison market in 2011, pits golf teams of area C-suites against one another as each selects an organization to represent on the course. Funds are awarded to the nonprofits attached to the top performing teams. Counting all golf invitational events the bank has hosted in southeastern Wisconsin and Madison, total event proceeds benefitting nonprofits have exceeded $210,000. The outing is unique in that it brings together an intimate group of business executives who all value philanthropy but seek to give back to different organizations instead of playing for one designated organization, said Dave Vetta, president and chief executive officer of First Business Bank-Milwaukee. “People share a common bond of giving back and contributing to the community, but they’re all playing for their own favorite charity,” Vetta said. The outing also opens up a new forum through which area organizations can engage the business community, he said. “It gives them a higher profile,” Vetta said. “It gives them a platform with which to tell their story and to engage others who aren’t familiar with their story.” During the 2015 Milwaukee-area event, held July 27 at Westmoor Country Club in Brookfield, close to 40 executives organized into 20 teams took a day to give back. A tie between two teams led event proceeds to be split between victory organizations Meta House and Milwaukee Rescue Mission. Each pocketed $9,250 – all of which the organizations can use at their discretion. Meta House, of Milwaukee, guides women struggling with substance abuse through recovery and works to break the generational cycle of addiction. The organization leverages gifts like the funds from First Business Bank to extend programs and services for individual clients for as long as they need the organization’s support. Some recovery programs are only able to help a client for a set number of days, according to Amy Lindner, president and CEO of Meta House.

Funds from First Business Bank allow Meta House to remain engaged with a client as long as she needs its help, Lindner said. “Private support like the support from the First Business Bank is exactly what makes that long-term commitment possible,” she said. The organization was awarded funds thanks to winning golfers Mary Wendt of Motive Equipment and Greg Schultheis of Westmoor Country Club. Milwaukee Rescue Mission’s gift was earned by golfers John Beagle and Tim Oleszczuk, both of Milwaukee-based Grace Matthews Inc. Milwaukee Rescue Mission provides emergency shelter, food and clothing to thousands of area men, women and children in need each year. Along with hosting between 300 and 400 individuals per day through its shelter programs, the organization serves about 800 meals each day, which adds up to 300,000 meals a year, according to executive director Patrick Vanderburgh. Funds from the golf outing could cover more than 4,000 meals, or about a week’s worth of meals, he estimates. Milwaukee Rescue Mission was grateful to be involved in the event for the last two years and was thrilled to be among the winning organizations this year,” Vanderburgh said. “They’re great community partners,” Vanderburgh said of First Business Bank. BizTimes Media served as the media partner of this year’s local invitational.

Self-empowered families have access to low-cost money, are entrepreneurial, build wealth through home ownership, and live in safe, sanitary and affordable housing. ACTS helps 100-150 families each year purchase inner-city homes, the vast majority of which were previously vacant, vandalized foreclosures. The families who purchase these homes typically earn half the county median income and save hundreds of dollars a month owning instead of renting.
ACTS invites interested potential supporters to participate in a bus tour where we visit ACTS neighborhoods and see a home renovated by an ACTS family. For more information e-mail acts@actshousing.org.

Join us by participating in an American Cancer Society event. • Making Strides Against Breast Cancer is the largest network of breast cancer awareness events in the nation, uniting nearly 300 communities to finish the fight against breast cancer. • Relay For Life is the world’s largest fundraising event to fight every cancer in every community that gives everyone a chance to celebrate the lives of people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against the disease. • Galas and specialty parties are a fun and festive way to support our lifesaving mission.

GOALS Our vision is that Wisconsin kids will be the healthiest in the nation.

We have led the way with research that doesn’t just make headlines — it helps kids get better. We do none of that alone. At our side every step of the way are corporations, organizations, foundations and individuals who care about kids and this community as much as we do.

Libbie, age 6
Each gift counts, for each child we serve When Libbie’s parents arrived in China to meet their newly-adopted toddler, they knew they would need the help of Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin to help settle her into her new life. Libbie had a genetic condition that meant she could not walk. Several years and five surgeries later, not only is Libbie walking — she is running. The generous support of our community helps us give kids like Libbie the best possible life, whether it’s through treatments and research in our hospital, care in our clinics or life-changing support in our community programs.

MISSION Hospice Alliance is a non-profit organization dedicated to caring for the terminally ill and empowering those who support them. We strive to provide comfort in order to enhance the quality of life each day.
10220 Prairie Ridge Boulevard Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin 53158 (262) 652-4400 hospicealliance.org facebook.com/hospicealliance TOTAL EMPLOYEES: 127 REVENUE: $370,625.00 YEAR ESTABLISHED:
1981 GOALS
SERVICE AREA Hospice Alliance serves patients and their families in Kenosha, Racine, Eastern Walworth and Southeastern Milwaukee Counties.
Hospice Alliance was founded 35 years ago by a group of community citizens. Since our inception, our goal has remained unchanged: to provide comfort-focused, compassionate care, allowing patients at end-of-life and the loved ones who support them, to live every day to the fullest, regardless of the ability to pay. While the majority of our patients are cared for in their own homes, our Hospice House, located in Pleasant Prairie, provides 24/7 care in a residential, home-like setting.
PHILANTHROPIC FUNDING SOURCES
We are a community leader in education and grief support, providing information and bereavement services regardless of having patients in our care.
EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP
An Evening of Wishes is Hospice Alliance’s signature fundraiser. The annual event, along with our annual appeal solicitation, raise funds to cover the deficit resulting from uncompensated health care, as well as the operation of our Hospice House - residential care facility. GIVING OPPORTUNITIES
More than 200 volunteers share their time with us, assisting in the following ways: with patients at our Hospice House, in homes providing respite care or lifeenrichment activities, in the office or out in the community at outreach events or making deliveries.
Hospice Alliance welcomes charitable giving to support its services. Donations help bridge the gap created by uncompensated and unpaid medical care and to ensure that life-enriching services can be provided and enhanced. Financial contributions from individuals often as tributes, memorials or planned giving, corporations, and foundations are welcome.
A special group, known as Vigil Volunteers, are called upon when a patient is near end-of-life and loved ones are unavailable, to ensure our promise that no one dies alone.
Hospice Alliance’s Evening of Wishes annual event offers sponsorship and in-kind donation opportunities. To discuss supporting Hospice Alliance, please contact 262.652.4400.

The 2010 Census indicated there are more than 153,560 adults age 60+ in Milwaukee County; more than 39,000 live alone. Interfaith strives to continue: improving the quality of life for older adults and caregivers; keeping older adults independent and in their own homes; and reaching out to older adults and those that care for them. We want to assure every older adult and caregiver who needs our help that we’ll be there for them – meeting their needs, making life easier and more fulfilling, and connecting them to a caring community. No one can do it alone.
Interfaith celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2015. We’ve been able to serve the community for so long in part because of internal and external fundraising efforts. Corporate sponsorships, advertising and donated auction items are always welcome for our annual benefit events, including: Pearls of Wisdom, which takes place every Spring; and Pull Up a Chair, an artistic fundraising event that takes place every November. Other events include our all-staff training day, Lifetime Art exhibition, and many neighborhood outings.
