Day of the Dozer is Back!

Day of the Dozer. On August 27th, the Day of the Dozer was held at the Interstate Center in Bloomington. This unique event provides an opportunity for kids and their families to see heavy construction equipment in action and to let kids “move dirt” with an experienced Stark operator. The proceeds benefited Stay 4, a program designed to identify, help and retain students who demonstrate the ability to succeed, yet are at risk of dropping out of high school.

Upon completion of the Stay 4 criteria, high school graduation, enrollment in a trade school, community college or four year university, students are awarded a minimum $1,000 grant from Great Plains Life Foundation to support their continuing efforts. About 1,008 children attended the Day of the Dozer and the event raised $16,039 to benefit the Great Plains Life Foundation “Stay 4” program. Special thanks go to Stark operators, employees and family members who setup, volunteered the day of the event and helped clean up. A sincere thank you goes out to Stark event coordinator, Karrie Hilt, and co-chair, Amy Bowen.
