~Efforts on behalf of Saxony Lutheran earns funds, honors
MILWAUKEE -- The Northwestern Mutual Foundation announced that David Hahs of Cape Girardeau, Mo., is an "Outstanding Volunteer" in Northwestern Mutual's national Community Service Award program. Hahs was selected as a winner for his outstanding contribution to Saxony Lutheran High School, which draws students from throughout Southeast Missouri.
"This award recognizes the people who have enriched and enhanced their communities by giving of their time and talents," stated Ed Zore, president and CEO of Northwestern Mutual. "Since the program's inception in 1995, Community Service Awards have made a significant impact -- more than 1.8 million dollars have been donated to over 200 non-profit organizations across the country."
Hahs was presented with the Community Service Award during Northwestern Mutual's Annual Meeting of Network Representatives on July 26 at the company's headquarters in Milwaukee. A $10,000 grant will be presented to the Saxony Lutheran High School from the Northwestern Mutual Foundation later this summer.
"We knew we were going to outgrow our current facilities and we had a dream to make this new school a reality," Hahs said. "It's been very exciting to see it being built and last fall to see over 80 students and faculty begin their 1st day of school, was truly rewarding," Hahs added.
Celebrating its 11th year, the CSA is open to more than 9,000 representatives of the Northwestern Mutual Financial Network. The national award program recognizes exemplary volunteer involvement and dedication to charitable organizations and philanthropic projects. In total, the Northwestern Mutual Foundation will donate $265,000 this year to community service organizations involved with this program.
The program is funded by the Northwestern Mutual Foundation, which has donated more than $60 million to national and Milwaukee area nonprofit organizations in the past five years. For decades, the Company has been committed to improving the quality of life by concentrating its charitable contributions in the areas of education, health and human services, and the arts and culture.
