LA CROSSE, WI — November 5, 2025:
SOILK (Serving Others in Loving Kindness) today announced the official results of its August through November 2025 volunteer partnership with Authenticom. Over the three-month period, 22 employees completed a total of 846 volunteer hours and generated $1,454 in direct donations to multiple community organizations.
The partnership engaged volunteers in service projects supporting Meals on Wheels, Tornado Youth Hockey, Emma Loves Dogs, Yavapai Humane Society, Coulee Region Humane Society, Great River Care Center, and Feed the Need Windsor. Volunteers also supported a range of hyper-local cleanup efforts across schools, parks, ponds, neighborhoods, and individual homes.
“This program proved what we already knew — when corporate teams have a structured pathway to give, they don’t just show up, they go all in,” said Brandi Cottrell, CEO of SOILK. “Our goal is to make volunteering a normalized part of the professional environment, and Authenticom set a powerful example of what that looks like in action.”
