Community Involvement
Marshal's motivation and campaign has been about "bringing energy to the community" from the very beginning. With help from friends, family, and the organizations he's involved with, Marshal has had the opportunity to make good on that slogan. Here we highlight the major projects we have been able to start in our community and some of our future plans. These projects and the people involved, prove that anyone can have a positive impact in their community, no matter how big or small, and no matter who you are.
If you have any questions about any of our projects, suggestions for future projects, or are interested in getting involved yourself, please feel free to reach out to us!
Playground Calvary
With the help of friends and family, Marshal has planned efforts to help out at local playgrounds each of the last two summers. Last summer we helped restore the New Baltimore picnic grounds through painting and mulching, in preparations for the New Baltimore Fourth of July Picnic. This summer we helped out at JB Schrock playground in Berlin, repainting equipment and donating new toys and sports equipment.
Donation Campaign
In the month leading up to Thanksgiving, we run a social media campaign to raise awareness for a different Berlin organization or group. In order to spread the post to as many people as possible, for every like, follow, share and comment on the post, Marshal pledged to donate $2 to the organization. In the two years we've ran the program, Marshal along with the help of the community, have donated over $2,000 each year to both the Berlin Food Pantry and the Berlin Volunteer Fire Department.

Food Pantry Golf Scramble Classic
In an effort to spread awareness for local food pantries, Marshal and friend of the campaign, Adam Struky, organized the Food Pantry Golf Scramble Classic. In it's second year we were able to raise over $6,000 for the Berlin Community Food Pantry!
LEGOs at Christmas
Marshal had the opportunity to team up with his close friend, Turner Paul, to bring some Christmas spirit to local boys and girls in the Berlin area. Marshal and Turner grew up fond of Legos, and wanted to recreate that happiness with other children this Christmas season. Legos were donated to the Berlin Food Pantry, the Berlin School Lego League, and to other children in the area.
