This year several businesses joined together to plant 13 beautiful trees to landscape the Yakima campus
- AmericanWest Bank donated their time and labor
- Central Premix donated river rock
- Marq Packaging donated a back hoe
The AmericanWest Bank volunteers went above and beyond the call of duty that day. After hours of raking bark and digging holes for 13 trees (on an extremely warm day), we realized that the final task of distributing river rock over the planting beds was a bigger job than anticipated. After working with the river rock for about ½ hour, sweating and straining, it looked impossible to complete that day. Feeling that it was too much to ask of volunteers, we told the AmericanWest team that they did not have to stay to distribute the river rock. However, they would not give up and insisted they would not leave until this job was done. Jake Hardy and Matt Duffy contacted Trent Marquis of Marq Packaging and within ½ hour a back hoe arrived! Without this equipment, their hard labor and dedication, we would not have finished this project.
