After a four-year absence from the corner of the Crook County Courthouse lawn, PRECorp employees set up a walking taco booth at the Sundance Burnout Wednesday, August 9.
The booth raised more than $2500 for three designated local non-profit organizations: Crook County Medical Services District (CCMSD) Long Term Care, Palliative Care; and Sundance Kid Prints, Inc. – daycare.
The booth's financial success was matched dollar-for-dollar by two partners to triple the giving. Basin Electric, PRECorp's wholesale power supplier; and the Powder River Energy Foundation each contributed $2850.
For more than 15 years, Powder River Energy employees have raised funds for local charities through its Rally Wednesday Walking Taco booth in downtown Sundance. A shortage of volunteers and the COVID pandemic put the booth on hold from 2019 through 2022.
"CCCMSD holds a deep appreciation for the individuals within our communities and our patients. It is a privilege and honor to offer long-term care services to those who may no longer be able to reside in their own homes but wish to remain near their loved ones. Our palliative care services enable patients to spend their final days and moments in the company of their supportive community, tended to by a dedicated and empathetic healthcare team," said CCMSD CEO Micki Lyons.
"We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Powder River Energy for their generous donation, which will enable us to uphold our commitment to delivering exceptional care in these areas."
Kid Prints, Inc. provides full-time daycare for families in and around Sundance with lunch and snacks and outdoor play areas. There is also on-site early childhood education and preschool to prepare the children for kindergarten.
"These three non-profit entities provide critical services to families in the Sundance and Crook County area, and, with the community's assistance, we are proud to help them out as much as possible," said PRECorp Executive Assistant Steph Pribilske.
