Cardinal Services Holds 16th Annual Cardinal Call Fundraiser
By Staff Report-
Over 500 guests tuned in to watch the 34-minute virtual presentation that included messages from Cardinal Board Chair Angie Ritchey, Executive Director Matt Boren, Head Start parent Mylisha Bennett, Adult Services parent Mary Kay Kinsella and her daughter Liz, volunteer Jennifer Lancaster and Ivy Tech Vice Chancellor Allyn Decker, according to a press release from Cardinal Services.
The theme to this year’s Call was CommUNITY and speakers emphasized the role our community plays in the life of the organization, from financial support to embracing roles that help the people served by Cardinal to live their best lives, stated the release. This may be by employing a person with a disability, tutoring a person to read, driving them to church or visiting with them over coffee.
Bennett spoke about the impact Head Start has had not only on her children, but on her own goals and aspirations, while Kinsella shared how her daughter has found her own place in the world with Cardinal.
Boren emphasized that neither of these tales of success, nor any of the other stories throughout Cardinal, are possible without the greater community.
Sponsors of this year’s event were Core Mechanical, signature leadership donor; Robert and Waneta Bishop, Dr. Chris Magiera and Dr. Pam Galloway, Chas and Alli Simpson, Winona IT, Zimmer Biomet Legal Team, leadership donors; DePuy Synthes, signature sponsorship donor; Crossroads Bank, Lake City Bank, Old National Bank and Steve and Angie Ritchey, sponsorship donors.
