Dan Seemuth, the CEO of Bearance Financial, is part of the Contributors Breakfast Club (CBC). The group is comprised of successful business leaders in the community who decided that they wanted to do a little more in the way of giving back to their community. The group formed in 1987 and by 2003 they decided to establish a foundation to help them make a positive impact in the area. This foundation has grown their endowment to nearly a half million dollars and has been responsible for nearly $250,000 in contributions to local charities and non-profit organizations since its inception.
One of the organizations the group supports is Wildwood Hills Ranch. The ranch is a 400 acres facility that sets in the hills of Madison County. The mission of the ranch is to provide life-changing opportunities and camp programs to at-risk and disadvantaged children. Kids from across the state are offered hope and love while being challenged to grow into leaders and people of integrity who contribute to the communities in which they live. It is a wonderful facility with an even greater mission, of which you can learn more about at www.wildwoodhillsranch.org.
Seemuth explained that one of the CBC's major fundraisers is held in cooperation and support of the Wildwood Hills Ranch. The name of this event is the Wild Boar Challenge, which is an off road obstacle course designed to push participants through a series of challenges that will test both their speed and agility as they navigate through the course. This year they're going to add a fun run to the offering in order to allow more people to be engaged. The event is scheduled to take place on September 26th, 9:30 a.m. at the Wildwood Hills Ranch just outside St. Charles, Iowa.
The members of the Rotary Club of West Polk County Iowa encourage you to consider participating, sponsoring, or perhaps volunteering at this very worthwhile event. All of the funds from this challenge, or any of the CBC fundraising events stay right here in Central Iowa. Thank you to Dan Seemuth and our fellow Rotarian Kevin Smith, for sharing information about the breakfast club and the Wild Boar Challenge with our members.
