Our executive team had a great time in Sun Valley at this year's AmeriBen conference. Thank you to Andy Fujimoto and Carrie Hatch, who serve on our board of directors at Big Brothers Big Sisters and were kind enough to have us as their guests.  

As this year's beneficiaries, Big Brothers Big Sisters was granted nearly $8,000 in donations towards our programs. Thank you to all that participated in our starfish campaign and believing that helping an individual does matter, even if it is just one. We are looking forward to next year and our continued partnership with AmeriBen in serving the children of Treasure Valley.
