supports Owatonna Parks & Recreation Youth Scholarship Fund
(Owatonna, MN) (June, 2021)
Youth 1st, a non-profit organization headquartered in Owatonna, MN recently received a donation from Cashwise Foods in Owatonna. The proceeds were generated from the annual Youth 1st Baseball & BBQ fundraiser held May 13-14. Keith Ramm, Store Director of Cashwise in Owatonna, presented a check for $5766 to Mark Arjes, Founder and Director of Youth 1st. The mission of Youth 1st is to connect Conduct, Character and Community to youth activity programs, reclaiming the role that youth sports plays in the development of our kids.
“Cashwise is such a great community partner and we are grateful for all the support that Keith, Troy and the staff give us each year through the BBQ rib fundraisers.” said Mark Arjes of Youth 1st. “Our lunch delivery to local businesses continue to grow. We send out a special thanks to Daikin Applied in Owatonna for including all their lunch shifts, it made this the most successful event ever! Additionally, we want to thank Advantage Cabinets, Curt’s Diesel Service, General Equipment, House Chevrolet, KOWZ/KRUE radio, Owatonna Motor Company, Pearson, Profinium, Terry’s Repair, United Prairie Bank, U.S. Bank and Viracon for supporting us through their delivery orders.
Finally, a huge thank you to our awesome volunteers: Tony Schwichtenberg, Ron Blakstad, Steve Arnold, Brad Meier, Ryan Kubat, Rich Will of KRFO Radio, Sarah Escamilla, Dean Smith, Kelli Sacket, Tammy (Target) and Cathi Arjes for their time on the serving line and as delivery drivers. We can’t run the fundraiser without them.”
“Daikin Applied has been in Owatonna since 2001, and we are committed to the community and surrounding areas. We employ over 500 people in our Owatonna facility today, over 700 in our two Faribault facilities, and nearly 1800 across all of Minnesota. This community is an essential part of what makes Daikin the leading global HVAC solutions provider, with a full portfolio delivering advanced technology and innovation to HVAC customers around the world.” said Alexander Prieve of Daikin.
“Daikin is grateful to play a role in the success of the Youth 1st fundraisers, allowing us to support families locally through the Owatonna Parks & Recreation Scholarship Fund. We’re hopeful it will help to further the Youth 1st mission for kids to be active build relationships and develop into the best version of themselves. On behalf of all 1800 Daikin employees in Minnesota, we appreciate the opportunity to create a positive impact on our local communities.”
Youth 1st committed a portion of this year’s proceeds to support the Owatonna Parks & Recreation Youth Scholarship Fund. “Owatonna Parks & Recreation has been a Youth 1st partner since 2010 and we believe that Park & Recreation programs will be in even higher demand as families conserve resources due to the economic impact of the pandemic. We want to support Parks & Recreation programming and local youth participation across the board by contributing to the Youth Scholarship Fund.” Arjes presented members of the Scholarship Committee with a check for $600. Scholarship committee members Dan Gorman, Sue Schroeder, Tim Truelson, Linda Coleman, Greg Posch, Angie Malo and Sean Hughes also volunteered during the fundraiser.
Youth 1st thanks everyone who supported the fundraisers through their purchase of BBQ Ribs and Meals. Brian Shaw was the winner of the gas grill drawing sponsored by Target in Owatonna.
