Forward is supporting the Rib Lake School District and their efforts to update the track with a $75,000 donation. The track is used by all ages in the community and schools, and it is time to bring it up to current WIAA standards.
The School District has identified several critical opportunities to support the physical, emotional, and social well-being of the students and community. Through that they have prioritized improvements to our current track as an opportunity to directly impact on those needs of our students and community.
“We approached Forward because they hit the ground running with their giving from the start in Rib Lake,” commented Travis Grubbs, District Administrator of the Rib Lake Schools. “Their $75,000 commitment is a great start for this project which will benefit all our students and community. We will continue to collaborate with our Athletic Booster Club and other community-based organizations to make this happen.”
“An active and progressive school helps to make communities strong and thrive,” stated Laura Deuso, Rib Lake Office Manager for Forward Bank. “Supporting the track improvement project and energy that Travis and members of the community bring is important to Forward. Athletics teach discipline and teamwork; both are lessons that will help make for a future workforce that businesses like ours need and community leaders that Rib Lake deserves.”
