"To support employees experiencing financial difficulty during the pandemic, The Rice Tire Employee Hardship Fund has been established with The Community Foundation of Frederick County "
Frederick County Chamber of Commerce
August 12 at 2:25 PM ·
To support employees experiencing financial difficulty during the pandemic, The Rice Tire Employee Hardship Fund has been established with The Community Foundation of Frederick County and becomes one of its more than 720 component funds.
Rice Tire company leaders decided to create the fund because they knew that many of their employees were struggling to make ends meet due to the economic fallout caused by the pandemic, and company leadership wanted to do something to help during this uncertain time.
The fund’s purpose is to provide support for Rice Tire employees and their families who are faced with unforeseen financial expenses. These include, but are not limited to, housing, transportation or insurance, utilities and medical expenses that have been brought on by a pandemic, a catastrophic loss or event, or treatment for a seriously ill family member with special needs due to an existing medical condition.
As a leader in grant and scholarship funding, Community Foundation of Frederick County has given back more than $64 million to the community since 1986. To learn more about the Community Foundation, visit www.FrederickCountyGives.org.

Bruce Reeder is the Top Individual Fundraiser Again! His team, Breast Friends, is the top Team Fundraiser! Bruce raised over $8,000 individually, and his team raised more than $10,000! In total Bruce has raised nearly $30,000 for the Hurwitz Breast Cancer Fund. Bruce began by supporting national efforts, but a few years ago, he decided to support our local 5K. THANK YOU, BRUCE!! Read how Bruce has been so successful.
Well, this wonderful journey started in 2008 when I joined a friend to walk for Breast Cancer. At that time, the walk required a fundraising minimum of $1,800. This concerned me very much as I had never raised that much money for anything. In 2008, I was able to raise $2,415. Now, 14 years later, I have raised $78,000 with this year’s total being $8,300.
Some ask how I do it. Well, I spend time researching for potential donors, whether they are personal or business relationships. If you know them in whatever way, consider them as a potential donor. I reach out to then with an email, on social media or by letter that describes this wonderful cause. Make it as easy as possible for them to donate, that goes along way. I share about the incredible survivors that I have met over many years and how I shared smiles and tears of joy with them. You can’t believe the smiles that survivors have on their faces in spite of what they have been through. It is rare that a day goes by that I do not think of them.
The best advice I can give someone about fundraising is to be persistent. Ask donors multiple times for donations and feel proud doing so. Everyone gets busy with work and family so the first contact is not usually the one that gets a donation. Start your fundraising as soon as the donor site is open.
To me, when compared to what survivors have been through raising money becomes easier.
I look forward to continuing my support for the Hurwitz Breast Cancer Fund for many years to come.
