Our Board Members

John Drehobl
President

It’s very exciting to see how our foundation can make a real impact for those in need. Through the support of many, we’ve been able to contribute to a lot of great causes and it’s exciting to think about what else we can accomplish in the future.

Briana Lasco
Secretary

Having the opportunity to serve others, especially individuals we interact with on a daily basis, as well as individuals in the surrounding community.

Dan O’Brien
Vice President

The foundation allowing all members of the organization the opportunity to give back and provide service to those in need. I also love how the foundation does not require a minimum donation amount as well as allows weekly deductions as low as $1.

Sara Lasco
Treasurer

I enjoy that this foundation is built on the idea of helping our own associates. These are hardworking individuals who we see every day, to be able to help them and their families is a feeling that is indescribable. Our work that affects the surrounding community is just an added bonus. I very much enjoy being a part of this foundation.

Brian Morales
Board Member

We don’t live in a perfect world, and there’s never going to be a perfect time to give, but there are always people out there in need of help. I love being part of the foundation because I enjoy helping others and makes me feel good for our associates. I realize that every little bit helps. This improves the quality of life for people in the community.

Nick Drehobl
Board Member

There is no better feeling than giving back to the ones in need. I truly pride myself on helping others and having the ability to make a difference. This foundation gives me that opportunity.
