Shawnee Mission Medical Center -
The Legacy of Healing Society

Through Mark's involvement in the Shawnee Mission Medical Center's Ethics Committee, he has seen first hand the level of patient caring and concern that this organization puts forth.

Blue Valley Education Foundation

We feel it is important to support local schools to further the education of future leaders in the Kansas City area. We contribute both in an on going and legacy basis to this organization.

Blue Valley Service Center

When we found out about the level of poverty and need for support in our own county, we were amazed. Even though Johnson County appears to be one of the wealthiest counties in the United States, there is still a large need for assistance. Our family contributes time in the form of stuffing backpacks, organizing and distributing food to families in crisis as well as funding to the service center so that they can provide utilities and care support to families in need.

We provided support and backpacks for 50 children in the Blue Valley School District.

Brain Tumor Foundation for Children, Inc.

When we discovered our daughter Bethany had a brain tumor at age 5, we were in disbelief that something like that could happen to us. For the next few years we cared for her during her recovery. We then decided that we needed to give back to the organizations that were so helpful to us in our time of need. The Brain Tumor Foundation for Children, Inc. is one of these as well as RIde for Kids, BeHeadStrong, Head for the Cure and the Paulina Cooper Annual Dot -to Dot Run/Walk.
