Lending a hand,
however we can.
Causes we care about
Along with making the financial lives of our clients better, we're improving our community, too. Through financial support, volunteerism and collaboration with partners, we're helping to build a stronger community.
ALSF & Next Generation Development
🎗Over $45,000 was raised, 900 hours of research funded, & nearly 400 awareness-building #lemontopchallenges were completed during our inaugural 'FCS All-Stars ' ALSF Challenge. Aidan Bouman, QB for USD, wins the ALSF challenge by raising almost $10,000 to help cure kids cancer. The SDSU team of Mark Gronowski, Brian Williams, & Quinton Hicks raised the most money as a group. We are already planning for the next challenge. Stay tuned.
Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation
When she was 1, ALSF founder, Alex Scott, was diagnosed with neuroblastoma. Following her 4th birthday, Alex told her parents she wanted to open a lemonade stand. Her goal was to raise money to give to doctors so they could find a cure for childhood cancer. Our team hosts Northwestern Mutual Lemonade Stands in our community to raise money for the Northwestern Mutual Childhood Cancer Research Fund and Family Travel Fund in partnership with ALSF.
Ronald McDonald House
In 2023, our local firms donated/raised nearly $100,000 for Ronald McDonald House Charities of SD between Kilts for kids, NM Foundation awards, and other fundraising events. We also won a national Childhood Cancer Program Award which helped us donate $25,000 to RMDH and will help them jumpstart a garden in the spring of 2024. We are proud to continue living into our values and making an impact in our communities.
