Values matter to clients, employees, and the community.

Investing in the community makes a difference in employee satisfaction, recruitment, and reputation.

I develop plans that enable an organization to identify partnerships that align with their goals.

Half-Million Meal Challenge

In the spring of 2020 the COVID epidemic was spreading ant the lock-down was changing society. We wanted to help our most vulnerable neighbors and give everyone a positive goal to rally towards.

We set up a telethon with Food Bank of Iowa. Our goal of a half-million meals would have been one of the largest fundraisers in KCCI history.

It wasn’t high enough.

In one day, we raised more than $500,000, enough for two million meals through generous matching sponsors and viewer donations.

Kelly Clarkson Helps Families in Des Moines

The Kelly Clarkson Show produces a segment recognizing organizations that are improving their communities. I connected the producers with Families Forward in Des Moines, an organization that helps families become self-sufficient.

We created a live segment for the national show that brought unparalleled attention to the organization working in our community.

This short video, produced in 2022, summarizes the impact of our community efforts through the words of our partners.
