Plano West Gym

WR Starkey Mortgage has a banner hanging in the Plano West Gym for Plano Independent School District. It is important to WR Starkey to support local communities/schools.

Building Homes in Guatemala

Becky and Michael Pond in Guatemala with the family they helped to build a home for. Six kids and a mother live in this 10 x 18 new home with no running water or electricity. This home was a drastic improvement over the corn hull and tarp home they lived in before. Becky and Michael went on the mission trip with their church.

Knights of Heroes Golf Tournament

Trina Nevrla in the Colorado branch helped with a golf tournament benefiting the Knights of Heroes. This is a charity that helps boys from ages 8 - 16. They provide a week long camp experience for boys that have lost their fathers in war casualty. The camp is designed to give the boys a chance to build friendships and provides mentoring relationships.

Serving at the Denver Ronald McDonald House

The Denver branch cooked and served dinner to the families at the Ronald McDonald House. The families are staying at the house while their children are in the hospital. It is comforting for them to have a kind place to stay and a home cooked meal during a very stressful time in their life.

Thank you:

"Race for the Cure"

On Saturday, June 7th, numerous employees met early for the Susan G Komen, Race for the Cure. The event was in Plano, Texas. It was a very hot morning but what a great feeling to know you are helping to raise money for research to find cures for Breast Cancer. Everyone had a great time together.
