Mark has a passion for philanthropy in his community. The Blue Water YMCA is at the heart of his charitable endeavors. In his former role as Board President, he contributed to the new YMCA building project and today focuses on fundraising for the organization as the Mission Partners Committee Chairman. He also gives back by serving on the board of the Blue Water Middle College; a new collaborative endeavor with representatives from the area’s surrounding school districts and the St. Clair County Community College. The group was formed with a goal to improve awareness, affordability and graduation rates of the community’s school systems. His involvement also includes company sponsorship of a variety of local fundraisers, as well as sponsoring several youth sports leagues and youth scholarship programs.
