AvantGuard's Inspiring Fundraising Success
AvantGuard, a member of Becklar Monitoring, has marked another milestone in community support with its annual ‘Run for a Reason’ 5K fundraiser. These events, organized in partnership with the AG Cares Foundation, illustrate the strong commitment AvantGuard has towards helping families facing medical hardships. In the latest round of events, the company successfully organized races that not only raise funds but also build community spirit.
Impactful Community Engagement
During this year's venture, nearly 200 participants and 14 corporate sponsors united to raise an impressive $32,000. The contributions came from generous donations made by Becklar employees, local community members, and supportive corporate partners. Hundreds of volunteer hours were dedicated by dedicated staff from AvantGuard and Becklar, underlining the ethos of giving back and caring for those in need.
5K Events Focused on Local Families
Each location selected a family in need to directly benefit from the donations. The Ogden event, which took place earlier this year, supported the journey of little Serena. Born with Apert Syndrome, a rare condition affecting bone growth, Serena’s cheerful demeanor has touched the hearts of many, showcasing her bravery amid challenges. Her family’s story exemplifies how this fundraising initiative strives to make a difference.
Support for Those in Crisis
The Cedar City 5K offered support to Jayzen, a brave young boy recovering from a tragic accident. After sustaining severe injuries, including skull fractures, procedures to restore his health have been a testament to his determination. The support from community members is vital as his family navigates through these tough times together.
Strengthening Connections Through Care
In Rexburg, Angel, who battles Spina Bifida, was the inspiring focus for the final 5K. His triumph over numerous medical hurdles, including surgeries that many feared could hinder his mobility, has propelled Angel into a compassionate figure among his peers. Through these events, the community rallies to uplift those who are resilient in the face of adversity.
Commitment to Community Values
Justin Bailey, President of Becklar Monitoring, shares the company’s philosophy on community support. He emphasizes the importance of giving back, stating that it is not just a corporate responsibility but an essential part of their core values. The mantra 'We Care FIRST' captures the essence of their mission—serving and protecting those around them while fostering meaningful connections.
