The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.” – Gandhi

Like many companies, FEECO International is active within our local community, donating time and contributions to non-profit organizations whose missions we relate to and value. Most recently, FEECO became a proud sponsor of My Team Triumph’s Wisconsin Chapter. This organization pairs disabled athletes, or captains, with volunteer participants, or angels, who utilize racing equipment to guide their captain in either road races or triathlons. The goal is to not only cross the finish line, but to build memorable experiences that many non-disabled racers may take for granted.

On July 26th, several of FEECO’s employees will participate in the Green Bay Packers 5K Run/Walk at Lambeau Field with their My Team Triumph captain. During the race, the FEECO angels will take turns pushing their captain through the side streets of Titletown, for a total of 3.1 miles. The race begins at the Lameau Field Atrium and finishes on a replica 50 yard line constructed in the parking lot.

The event highlight will take place inside Lambeau itself, as the racers stampede through the rubber tracks around the field. Family and friends are also invited to sit in the stadium bowl to cheer and photograph their racers.

Several of FEECO’s employees, and a few of their friends and family members, will be participating. The angels include: Carmen Johnson, Ted Van Egeren, Kerry Dunn, Craig Peppin, Maggie Bikowski, Loni Cloutier, and Abby Reckinger.

“We’re really looking forward to race day” said Carmen Johnson, FEECO’s Project Manager Assistant. “I’m especially excited to guide our captain right through the stadium!”

FEECO would like to thank their captain in advance for joining them on the run/walk. We are truly excited to be a part of My Team Triumph, and this community event.
