About Us - Community Involvement Integrity Employees Make A Difference!
|
American Cancer Society Relay for Life |
Integrity
employees are proud to sponsor the American Cancer Society’s Relay for
Life. The event celebrates survivorship and raises money through the
formation of sponsored teams/team members who take turns walking or
running laps throughout the night. And, what a night it is!
The
event actually started over 20 years ago, when one man realized that he
had the power to make a difference. Dr. Gordy Klatt wanted to raise
money for his local Cancer Society, so he started running marathons and
getting sponsorships and support for doing so. His motivation and
methods served as a model for the “Relay for Life.”
The
event is both touching and purposeful, as it represents the hope that
those lost to cancer will never be forgotten, that those who face
cancer will be supported, and that one day cancer will be eliminated.
It’s a great cause, a great day, and an annual tradition that we look
forward to!
Through our involvement, we’ve learned there are many ways to make a difference. If you’d like to learn more, click here for information about the Relay for Life or call Mary Bennett Henrichs today at 1-888-764-8100.

Salvation Army Kettle Campaign |
It’s
cold outside during the holiday season, but it’s warm in our hearts as
we ring bells to support the community we live in and serve. Not only
do we feel great about our involvement, we also feel good about sharing
this volunteer opportunity with our co-workers, family, friends and
clients. We are always looking for others to join us in our bell
ringing efforts.
We are excited
to announce that, for the sixth year in a row, we have received the
trophy for being the Top Bell Ringers in the Business &
Professional Group for the Salvation Army Kettle Campaign. Our
2009 total was $1,105!! We would like to thank everyone in the
community that supported the Salvation Army Kettle Campaign this
season. We are looking forward to ringing the bell in 2010!
