Independence, Missouri –Ron Finke, President of Stewardship Capital, Ltd., an investment management firm based in Independence, recently returned from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada where he participated in The Million Meal Challenge. Finke took part in filling and packaging one million life-saving meals to be delivered to children and families around the globe who are suffering from malnutrition. The Million Meal Challenge is a service project sponsored by The Million Dollar Round Table (MDRT), an exclusive international association for insurance and financial professionals of which Finke is a life member. This is the MDRT’s largest-ever volunteer effort with over 2,300 volunteers participating and MDRT members contributing in excess of $200k to the cause. Meals were delivered to children and families in Haiti, India, Jamaica, the Philippines and Tanzania.

Ron Finke participated in the Million Meal Challenge during the 2010 MDRT annual conference June 13-17. He worked hands-on with other MDRT members who traveled from 80 nations and territories around the world to assist on the project. “It was a very gratifying experience, working alongside colleagues from diverse cultures for a common purpose,” states Finke. “Each one of the one million meals we packaged and delivered made a difference in someone’s life. One meal at a time, this program makes an impact and I look forward to joining continued efforts for the Million Meal Challenge.”

The Million Dollar Round Table is an international, independent association comprising 31,500+ insurance and financial services professionals from 464 companies. MDRT maintains strict membership standards. Members must demonstrate exceptional industry knowledge and ethical conduct as well as superior customer service standards. Membership is exclusive to less than 1% of insurance and financial professionals worldwide.

Stewardship Capital, Ltd. Supports Project Shine 2010

      Local Company Rolls Up
         Sleeves for Schools.

 

            Challenges Others to Turn on the Shine. 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – July 8, 2010


Independence, Missouri – Stewardship Capital, Ltd., a locally owned investment management firm, has partnered with the Independence School District to be a sponsor of the district’s Project Shine event. Project Shine is an annual volunteer-based effort to clean, paint and update schools across the Independence School District. Each year, five schools are selected, volunteer teams are assembled to complete the work and sponsors demonstrate support with donations of funds and supplies. 2010 marks the second annual Project Shine event, which was established following the historic Extreme School Makeover in 2008.

“With our close ties to this community, we feel a strong sense of responsibility to support programs and events, such as Project Shine, that have a tangible impact in our schools and neighborhoods. These efforts ultimately improve the quality of life and sustainability of the communities we serve, and reside in as well,” states Greg Finke, Stewardship Capital Vice President.

In addition to being a sponsor of the event, members of the Stewardship Capital team will be working hands on to complete projects in the schools. “Every business who operates within the Independence School District should consider lending support in some way,” says Finke. “We challenge our business colleagues to join us in making a monetary donation, providing needed supplies or rallying a team of employees to volunteer for a few hours.”

The Independence School District’s Project Shine Coordinator, Lori Worth Smith appreciates Stewardship Capital’s support and them encouraging other businesses to take part. “Without the backing of companies like Stewardship Capital, who take action to invest in our community and genuinely care about making a difference, Project Shine could not happen,” states Smith.
