Community Outreach
In February 2012, our Richland office held a “Taco Feed” to support our local chapter of Junior Achievement. We raised $271 and were presented with information about Junior Achievement’s efforts in our local schools while our employees happily 
munched away at their tacos. Then, on February 27, ten employees dressed in tie-dye (and some even donned wigs!) to bowl as the “Grateful Dade” at Junior Achievement’s only annual fundraiser, the Celebrity Bowl. Each employee set a goal to independently raise at least $100, and they beat their goal with a total amount of $1,056 raised!

Dade Moeller held its first-ever company blood drive, January 17, 2012, at its Richland headquarters. Supporting the American Red Cross, the company’s employees and their guest donors contributed 27 units of much-needed blood for immediate use in the local community.
Dade Moeller sponsored a team of 14 Richland employees and friends for the 2011 Relay for Life of the Columbia River. A nationwide signature activity for the American Cancer Society, the event raises money to fight cancer in local communities.
On June 10-11, the "Sunny Dades" took shifts to continuously walk around a track in an overnight event to honor those who are surviving cancer, those who have died from it, and for the efforts of all who fight it.
With all our fundraisers and team member donation collections, the "Sunny Dades" raised a total of $5,097.50 for the American Cancer Society. This is the third year that the Dade Moeller office in Richland has participated in this.
Dade Moeller & Associates is a proud sponsor of the Chinook Cycling Club in Richland, WA. We have been active in sponsoring events for over 5 years. Our company logo is prominently displayed on bike jerseys with some of the riders competing in national events. Additionally, Chinook Cycling Club sponsors events and safety programs for kids in the community.
For the last 3 years, Dade Moeller & Associates had been a proud sponsor of the Eerkes Memorial Golf Classic for Kids. This Memorial was started by Chris Eerkes and John Rettig to raise money for the Boys & Girls Club of the Tri-Cities and for Young Life charities to honor the memories of their sisters Laura Eerkes and Carolyn Rettig. The event is one of the largest fund raisers in the Tri-Cities and provides a substantial fraction of the operating budgets for these two organizations.
The Carson Kolzig Foundation is committed to helping kids & families challenged by autism. Dade Moeller & Associates is proud to be a sponsor for the Desert Bash held in Richland, WA.
We are proud to announce our President & Chief Executive Officer, Matt Moeller was elected to serve on the United Way of Benton & Franklin Counties ’ Board of Directors. He will serve a three-year term.
Our Fairfax office is proud to support the Northern Virginia Family Service’s Back to School Drive for the second year in a row. In August 2008, the office donated a back pack, lunch box, and school supplies for a local 5-year old girl who will be attending Kindergarten in Fairfax County this fall. “This is a simple yet powerful way for us to give back to our community,” said Steve Sohinki, Vice President, Safety Programs, and Manager of the Fairfax Office.
Five-year Cincinnati Office employee Terry Weaver participated in the Komen Greater Cincinnati Race for the Cure on September 14, 2008, raising $1,130 from friends, family, and fellow Dade Moeller & Associates co-workers. This was Terry’s second year at the event, which raises money to fund education, screening, and treatment programs for the Greater Cincinnati community and supports the national search for a cure. A breast cancer survivor, Terry wholeheartedly supports other Dade Moeller & Associates employees faced with breast cancer, either in their own lives or in the lives of loved ones. “Breast cancer can be beat,” says Terry, “and if I can beat it, others can too. We need to build each other up.”
On August 22-23, 2008, Dade Moeller & Associates sponsored a team of twelve employees and their families to walk in the annual Portland to Coast Relay, the largest walking relay in the world and a fund-raiser for the American Cancer Society. Calling themselves “The Walking Dade,” the team covered 127 miles, with each walker taking part in two legs of the relay and walking between 3.52 and 7.79 miles per leg. Raising $1,960 for the American Cancer Society, the team wore T-shirts with the names of family, friends, and coworkers who have been personally touched by cancer (survivors and victims). In 2006 and 2007 Dade Moeller & Associates sponsored a team of runners that participated in the relay from Mt. Hood to the Coast, also raising money for the American Cancer Society. This is the first year Dade Moeller & Associates has had a “walking” team participate in this event.
Health Physicists Rob and Susan Winslow visited Tracy Kintner's second grade class at Christ the King school in Richland for a 50 minute demonstration on March 4, 2011. The Winslows brought radiation detection instruments and personal protective equipment to give the students a hands-on look into the science of radiation protection. The students learned that some everyday items like bananas and certain rocks emit radiation, and they watched their teacher dress up in a protective suit.
Dade Moeller is headquartered in Richland and is a major employer in the Tri-Cities. The company believes in adding value to the local community through educational activities such as school presentations. The Winslows are 18-year residents of the Tri-Cities.
