Moen Sheehan Meyer has donated $1,000 to The Outdoor Recreation Alliance (ORA Trails), following the recently completed “MSM Gives Back” contest. Community members had the opportunity to vote for one of five nonprofit organizations to be the recipient of the donation. The contest was a way for the firm to give back to the community and help support a nonprofit organization that tirelessly works to serve others.
Attorney Joseph J. Skemp, Jr. presents ORA Board President Randi Pueschner with a $1,000 donation from Moen Sheehan Meyer.
The Outdoor Recreation Alliance (ORA Trails) is a 501c3 nonprofit dedicated to building happy, healthy, and resilient communities by providing access to equitable and sustainable outdoor recreation experiences. They are currently working on a number of local projects, including building a wheelchair-accessible treehouse within the Community Forest at Chad Erickson Park, and is developing a Community Trail Farm, plus much more.
Joseph J. Skemp, Jr., Shareholder at Moen Sheehan Meyer, notes, “We are proud to support ORA’s mission and we’re grateful for their work to protect and promote our outdoor spaces and to make them accessible to everyone. Outdoor recreation is essential to our physical and mental health, it helps create a sense of community and belonging, and is a vital part of our economy.”
ORA Trails is working to expand the Coulee Region’s trail system outward from the Gateway Trail System to the South in Shelby and Onalaska to the North. If you would like to support ORA, consider volunteering or making a secure, online, tax-deductible donation.
