Brookings, SD – For over 65 years, charitable giving has been an essential element of Larson Manufacturing’s corporate mission. One of the primary ways the company demonstrates its commitment to the communities it serves is through an annual United Way fundraising initiative that includes events held throughout the year and a fall campaign drive. This year, the company raised $198,100 in support of the Brookings Area United Way.
“Larson employees greatly value sharing of their time, talents and resources to make a difference in the communities they live,” said Fenton Challgren, president. “Despite the continued challenges brought on by the COVID pandemic, our team showed their support to the United Way again this year with over 80 percent of employees participating in the annual campaign drive! The organization is proud to match employee giving and uphold our time-honored tradition of community support.”
“We are deeply grateful to Larson and all the generous employees for their ongoing commitment to the United Way and our funded partners and community initiatives,” said Heidi Gullickson, executive director of the Brookings Area United Way. “Having the support of our local businesses is imperative to building a resilient community and enriching the lives of Brookings County residents.”
The company has actively participated in the United Way fundraising drive for years and has raised over $2.25 million in the last decade to benefit the local non-profit organization.
