North Minneapolis Donation

Kim, here are the pictures of some of the children that received backpacks due to John's generous donation of $1500 to Redeemer Church Center for Life.  The church is located in North Minneapolis and received the gift from John to outfit 175 backpacks with school supplies for children of the community.  The partnership with the "Breakfast Club" and COSTCO and John's donation made school supplies and backpacks a reality for 175 children from the city. An unbelieveable gift to an area that needs this kind of help and makes such a difference in people's lives.  John's philosophy to give directly to local agencies who then directly give to the community with little or no overhead is tremendous. Those gifts make such an immediate impact.  To have a business owner give back to the community he is working in, that has been devastated, demonstrates the caring and integrity of John and his company.  I know it is something his parents would be so proud of.  His family and community should be as well.  I know when we asked John to come down here and help our neighbors we wanted to protect them from unethical people.  Our neighbors, who we care deeply about and in their time of need, needed someone who would take the time to guide them thru the process and make sure someone was their advocate. John is still on scene as the process continues to grind on.  Little did any of us know what a long process this would be.  Having John in our corner made all the difference in the world. 

In addition to the backpack donation John also donated all the aluminum from the siding of a house that was damaged.  The money from that scrap made it possible to create a beautiful new education room at the Firefighter's Hall and Museum in Minneapolis.  It is unfortunate that the tornado hit our community but due to the Lutgen Company's generosity we have been able to make some tremendous improvements-there is a silver lining when people like John come to help.

1st Annual Cook-Out for A Cause
Fundraiser.jpg

We recently hosted our 1^st Annual Cook-Out for A Cause and it was a great success thanks to our sponsors and everyone who stopped by.  We encouraged the community to suggest local charities/benefits where they wanted to see the money donated.   All proceeds and donations were matched by Lutgen Companies and donated to local charities/benefits.  We were very pleased with the turnout and are very excited for our 2^nd Annual Cook-Out for A Cause.

Proud Sponsors of 1st Annual Cook-Out for A Cause:
