FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
(Appleton, WI) J.J. Keller Foundation awards grant in honor of Roger Erdmann, winner of the first James J. Keller Operational Excellence Award. Roger chooses SOAR Fox Cities, Inc. to be the recipient of $2,500!
When Roger Erdman won the first-ever JJ Keller Operational Excellence Award, he knew immediately where the $2,500 J. J. Keller Foundation grant that accompanies the award would go. SOAR Fox Cities – Formerly The Arc Fox Cities – was an important part of the Erdmann family as they grew up. Roger says he chose SOAR “because I was guardian for my brother, Bob, who currently lives in a group home environment in Appleton. Our mother, Hilda, bless her soul, promoted and helped in the organization of The ARC of Neenah-Menasha as they were starting out. The many great things that are promoted throughout this organization for the mentally/physically disabled is fantastic, from group activities, to crafts, sports, organized trips.”
Congratulations to Roger and to SOAR Fox Cities!
