In 2018, Tuthill participated in 16 Team Rubicon and 9 community engagement events. Take a glimpse at some of our experiences.
Tuthill raised $5,157 for Team Rubicon from our Giving Tuesday Holiday Match Fundraiser
Tuthill Fort Wayne helped fundraise for pancreatic cancer on October 15 with a bake sale that raised $291 for the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (PANCAN) and Patient Support. Cheryl Porter, Leslee Elliot, Lori Blough, Kelly Dalman, and Trish Ward donated their time and effort to make the sale a success.
TVBS gathered over 25 volunteers to participate in Convoy of Hope's "Hands of Hope" event. The team joined in to help pack: over 5,000 pounds of bulk pasta bagged (11,280 meals for our Children's Feeding Program); 2,736 bags of cereal for our feeding programs; 5,000 grocery bags for a Community Event in LA; 2,350 pairs of Toms Shoes ready to be distributed to kids in need in rural communities all over the US
TTS employees and friends participated in the fourth annual Ride for Rubicon event to benefit our cause partner, Team Rubicon. The event raised $800 for Team Rubicon.
“I am honored to be a part of an organization that volunteers to provide such a noble service to folks when they need it most,” said Tim Gorman who was co-coordinator of the event along with Brock Holley.
On April 7, 2018, over 100 TVBS, Burr Ridge and TTS employees participated in the Run As One 5k event for Team Rubicon.
The Easter bunny visited the AERO students of PRIDE Alternative School in Oak Lawn, IL on March 28 to deliver special baskets. AERO is a special education school comprised of various districts serving children with behavioral needs. Tuthill Corporation created baskets for both the students and teachers and brought the Easter bunny and her helpers to the school to read, dance and participate in an Easter egg hunt.

Special Recognition:
Each year we issue a few special patches for Wake the World engagement. This year we're proud to recognize their commitment to waking the world by engaging with Team Rubicon.
Our "All In, All Heart" patch recognizes service that goes above and beyond in our call to Wake the World. This year, for a second year in a row, Erica Magda from Burr Ridge is being recognized for her all-in approach to strengthening and maintaining our relationship with Team Rubicon. She continued her role as an "honorary" TR coordinator and organized a number of events including Habitat for Humanity projects and the Hines VA visit. Due to Erica's tremendous efforts the participation rate of Burr Ridge employees engaging with TR in 2018 was almost 100%. Thank you, Erica!
Our "Pump Your Heart Into It" patch is one of the hardest patches to earn because you must engage with Team Rubicon in every type of event: deployment, service, social, training, and fitness. Consider it a lifetime achievement patch as you earn it over the duration of all Team Rubicon events. This year we're proud to recognize Tim Gorman for earning this special achievement! Tim organized, led, and participated in several area events, including deployment to Kalamazoo, MI to help the city recover from severe flooding. Congratulations, Tim!
