Management Recruiters of Racine picnic
On July 18, Management Recruiters of Racine held a company picnic for their employees and their families, along with area athletes Mila Holcomb, Gordon Hodge, Karin Rourke, and Dharati Patel.
This year Management Recruiters of Racine has become part of the Special Olympics family. They selected Special Olympics Wisconsin to be their charity of choice for 2008. Throughout the year they have continued to show their support through fundraising within the company including selfless donations made by employees, as well as committing to spending personal time by volunteering at events like the regional track meet, the upcoming Du Run Run, and the State Summer Games in Stevens Point.
Management Recruiters of Racine’s Vice President, Scott Petersen, has really been a champion for Special Olympics. In sharing the program that he set up within his own office along with the experiences of he and his employees, Management Recruiters offices in Iowa and Dallas are now doing similar programs with their local Special Olympics offices.
We’re glad to have them on board and look forward to the ongoing relationship.
