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.

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.”
