Bright Ideas

Lawrence & Schiller, Inc.

Check out the video to see the fun “Minute to Win It” competitions and volunteer opportunities Lawrence & Schiller employees participated in during their weeklong campaign. Employee Campaign Manager Kari Reynolds and her committee packed a lot of excitement into the week, which resulted in 100 percent participation and an increase in giving!

The Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Society’s National Campus

“Minute to Win It” was also the theme of choice for Employee Campaign Manager Marilyn Stroh and her committee as they planned their employee campaign at The Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Society’s National Campus. See the videos and check out two of the games that brave employees took on. The friendly competition was paired with employee rallies, jeans day, photo book fundraiser and a drawing for paid time off.
