Being a great employer is more than a paycheck, more than pocketbook benefits. It's about family, caring, enriching the lives of others. It's about giving back to the community you live in. In ways too numerous to list, Oakland Hills has been, and is all of that.
The OHCC Scholarship Trust grants dollars to student employees, The Golden Rake Tournament that was held in 2014 to benefit the stricken child of an employee. I'm fortunate to work in a family run business with great owners. I'm lucky to have an employer that grants a 30 day leave of absence to travel to Nepal and raise money climbing. Pretty special.
Thank you to the Oakland Hills members, who upon hearing of my Wish Climb have so generously opened their pocket book ... and hearts ... once again.
Make-a-Wish Michigan is an organization that is close to my heart. The Make-A-Wish mission is to grant the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions. October 15-November 17 I'll be climbing Ama Dablam in Nepal in support of wish kids who have a mountain of their own to climb. I'm going to raise a minimum of $1 for every 1 foot I climb. My goal is $35,000. You can follow me in this climb on facebook, twitter and here on my blog.
