COMMUNITY WELL-BEING

Admission to the games was free, according to local media reports. Money was collected through the sale of concessions
and IVH Valor t-shirts, however, with all proceeds going toward future IVH maintenance and improvements.

“The refurbishment of the IVH ballfield was an extremely rewarding project that would not have been possible without
the generous donation from Ferguson Quarry,” Dechant said. “Our Quaker Oats VALOR team works on many veteran-
focused initiatives throughout the year and that’s only possible because of cooperation and support from businesses like
Martin Marietta.”

Des Moines District Sale Representative Miles Fogelson coordinated Martin Marietta’s involvement in the project and said
he was proud the Company was able to offer assistance. “I think it’s neat that we were able to give back to those who
have given so much,” he said.

Tichy agreed, noting the IVH has played a special role in her family for generations. “I had grandparents and great
grandparents live out the remainder of their years at IVH,” she said. “Our area is blessed to have such a great facility for
veterans and their families.”

Made new again by a team of local volunteers, Valor Field hosted a youth baseball tournament in September.
