Rutter
Communications employees put their best foot forward in support of the Muncie
Mission’s 4th annual “Walk a Mile in My Shoes” fundraiser. This
year’s event raised donations to purchase kitchen equipment for the nearly
completed new Muncie Mission homeless shelter.
The event raised more than $56,000, an increase of 100% over the
previous year.
Five Rutter team
members and their families were among the 1,000 walkers who braved sub-freezing
temperatures to take part in the community event. The one- mile course began at the Horizon
Convention Center and ended at the Mission’s New Life Center/Attic Window facility,
adjacent to the new Mission facility.
In addition
to the Rutter team members and their families who walked in the event, (Tom
Simpson, Adlai Chester, Brent Close, Todd Merickel and Richard Crist) Rutter
also provided leadership and organizational assistance. Rutter VP & COO Brent Close served as
Chair of the event, Sales Manager Todd Merickel served as a volunteer, and VP
& Chief Communications Officer Tom Simpson served as emcee.
