Rutter Communications makes an impact with Muncie Mission “Walk a Mile in My Shoes”

 

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.

 

Rutter Communications is a privately held, multi-media company headquartered in Muncie, Ind. with interests in television-advertising representation, film and video production, Internet marketing and information-technology support. Rutter operates three distinct divisions, including Rutter Media, Ideavenue and FuseWork Studios.
