Sonnentag Foundation Board Member, Rebecca Sonnentag, introduces Big Brothers Big Sisters of South Central Wisconsin Board Member Mike Gosenheimer at the 2021 Golf Outing hosted by County Materials.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of South Central Wisconsin is the proud recipient of a $10,000 grant from the Sonnentag Foundation to continue our efforts serving youth facing adversity through mentoring.

The Sonnentag Foundation targets their support to organizations in cities where County Materials Corporation and County Prestress, LLC have facilities. One major focus for the foundation is supporting programs and projects that target underserved children and youth. They look for organizations that provide services and resources related to career and workforce readiness, financial literacy, entrepreneurship and leadership development, academic help, recreation opportunities, life skills training, STEM and youth mentorship –  all valuable programs that lead to self-sufficiency and independence. These resources are especially vital for at-risk youth. “We believe that empowering disadvantaged youth and their families makes a positive and lasting difference in our local communities.” (from the Sonnentag Foundation website)
