Riley Construction had a great group attending the Warrior Dash this past Saturday, May 13. The event is a reinvented 5k run that consists of a fun obstacle course race that our group proved anyone can start, and everyone can finish. Seasoned and beginner athletes alike took the challenge to conquer 12 world-class obstacles like the Goliath and Fisherman’s Catch, wade across wooded lakes and streams, and venture through mud-caked backroads as they made the loop to the finish line. All were rewarded with a finisher medal, a sweet t-shirt, fuzzy Warrior helmet, ice cold beer and a post-race party to relive the course with friends, and celebrate the decision to live a normal weekend in the mud.
Funds from the event registration and donations are provided to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
What happens when three different communities unite at the same time for the same purpose? Something amazing. And that something is the ProHealth Care Walks for Cancer.
The Riley Crew was at it again. Last year a group of Riley Employees built 10 raised bed planters for a Community Garden Program at ProHealth Care. The program did so well we were asked back to build another 10 raised bed planters. The Riley crew made up of Craig Matthews, Amanda Toepel, Dave Riley, Pat Flaherty, Dave Gerou and Franz Lehner all donated 5 hours of their time last Friday (our first ½ day Friday…..). The planters again turned out great, and are already fully planted. Everyone pitched in by grading a stone walk-way…thanks Dave and Amanda, cutting lumber for 10 raised beds…..thanks Franz, and then constructing the 10 raised beds…..thanks Craig, Dave and Pat. We are so thankful to be a part of a great program that helps out a community that we live in.
