Michael Magro Foundation
At the end of 2004, Joe De Sena got quite a shock when longtime
friends and clients of his came to close the account of their young son,
who had died from leukemia only months after diagnosis.
That was a life-changing event for me, said Mr. De Sena of De
Sena, Terino & Associates in Melville, N.Y. (broker/dealer, Ameriprise
Financial Services, Inc.).
The Michael Magro Foundation was established in 2005, and Mr.
De Sena embraced the cause in a big way, running marathons and
raising $42,000 over the next three years.
Company colleagues Mary Terino, an associate advisor, and Katie
Coleman, a para-planner, enthusiastically joined in, applying their
considerable talents in grant writing and event planning, respectively.
Their participation brought the foundations fundraising to the next
level, helping to raise over $150,000 during the last two years.
The foundation, focusing on the overlooked everyday needs of
young cancer patients, has created Project SOAR, among other
initiatives, to address the particular physical, educational, and social
challenges they face when returning to school after treatment.
Were not looking for a cure for cancer, Mr. De Sena said. We
just want to make life as pleasant as possible for kids with cancer and
their families.

Presented to a team of advisors and/or ofce staff for their current,
collective involvement of at least three years as volunteers for a charity
in their local community.

Edward Jones Investments, Arlington, Texas Branch
Tony Blauvelt, Janelle Blauvelt, and Sharron Harley
Handley-Meadowbrook Lions Club
Tony Blauvelt, Janelle Blauvelt, and Sharron Harley, who work in Arlington,
Texas, for Edward Jones Investments , are so single-mindedly devoted to
the Texas Lions Camp for children with disabilities, one would think it
was their own personal project. But its not.
In fact, the camp is the primary focus for all Texas Lions clubs, but the
three colleagues, working for their local Handley-Meadowbrook Lions club,
send the most campers (81 in 2010) of all 900+ Lions clubs in the state.
The secret to doing what we do is that were good salespeople, Mr.
Blauvelt said. We have to sell the parents on letting their kids go to
camp, [because they] cant visualize their children with disabilities going
away for a week on their own.
The team members are also good communicators and organizers,
spending over 4,600 volunteer hours in the past year and a half
marketing the camp, fundraising, and working with parents, nurses,
physicians, teachers, and administrators from various school districts
to identify and enroll qualied campers.
The teams motivation is simple. The camp kids are like our own kids,
and we all love doing this, he said.

North Star Resource Group Team
Scott Richards North Star Charitable Foundation
Securian Financial
Charitable giving is a way of life for the 300 advisors and employees of
North Star Resource Group in Minneapolis (broker/dealer, Securian
Financial). The rms nancial advisors and other staff have donated
nearly $1.2 million to its charitable arm, The Scott Richards North Star
Charitable Foundation, since it began in 2004.
Furthermore, company ofcers donate at least $150,000 annually to
the foundation, which focuses on cystic brosis, breast cancer awareness,
bikes for kids, ataxia, myelobrosis, and Alzheimers disease all causes
that have touched employees personally.
North Star founder Phil Richards credits the organizations
philanthropic prowess to the fact that the example was set from the top.
He established the foundation to show leadership to inspire other
people to do the right thing, he said.
Theres a lot of pain out there the need is insatiable and takes
everyone, he said. From growing up in poverty to losing his son to
myelobrosis, Mr. Richards has transformed his own painful experiences
into a zeal for giving.
Mr. Richards said that providing the opportunity for charitable
engagement fosters employee retention and productivity. It supports
the mission of our company, and our [employees] feel like they are
changing lives. Its hard to leave a company with character, he said.

MIKE BERRY
Kids Aid
Colorado West Financial Advisors
Cambridge Investment Research
We didnt know the size of the hole we uncovered, said Mike Berry of
Colorado West Financial Advisors in Grand Junction, Colo.
(broker/dealer, Cambridge Investment Research), referring to the
pandemic of child hunger in his community.
While walking his young daughter to school one day, he encountered
a little girl crying from hunger. I couldnt get her out of my mind, he
remembers, and subsequently learned that some 50% of Grand Junctions
children dont eat anywhere else except school.
Mr. Berry resolved to take action and created Kids Aid a program
that discreetly distributes extra food weekly to schoolchildren, mostly in
elementary and middle school. The items are specially chosen for kids to
prepare by themselves.
The program took off like wildre, growing from a trial of 10 kids in
the spring of 2008 to 1,800 kids in 37 schools in the fall of 2010. Four
other communities are now replicating the program.
Mr. Berrys work with Kids Aid grounds him. [As advisors], were
dealing with people with money versus dealing with children without
food. Its very humbling.
Its important that we [in our industry] give back to the community
and show them were not just in it for our back pockets, he said.
VOLUNTEER OF THE YEAR

Presented to an advisor who has been actively serving as a volunteer at one or
more local nonprot organizations for at least two years and has made a
contribution considered to have a lasting impact in his/her community.

MICHELLE BRENNAN HALL
Star Children's Charity
Brennan Financial Services
FSC Securities Corporation
Well-to-do Collin County in North Texas has experienced explosive
growth in the last few years, and with the advent of the Great Recession,
area social services are bursting at the seams, said Michelle Brennan Hall
of Brennan Financial Services in Dallas (broker/dealer, FSC Securities Corp.).
A longtime fundraiser for childrens causes, she decided to do
something about it. Im an instigator, she said.
Adapting an innovative fundraising model from another organization,
Ms. Hall co-founded Star Childrens Charity in 2007, run exclusively by
members.
Up to 100 members, who pay annual dues of $500, run fundraising
events and collaborate on charitable decisions. Membership means
ownership of the mission, she said. It also means a requirement for
active participation, such as leading an event.
The results are stunning. Star has raised nearly $1 million for seven
beneciary agencies since 2008.
Ms. Halls background as a nancial advisor facilitates her charitable
activities. My life is about investing money, whether clients assets for
their goals and objectives or members assets for local needs, she said.
And donors and sponsors look for organizations they can trust.
What is her advice to other would-be philanthropy founders? Just do
it. Theres no tomorrow.
VOLUNTEER OF THE YEAR
Just do it. Theres
no tomorrow.

R. MARK SHEPHERD
AbilityPLUS Inc.
Shepherd Financial Partners
LPL Financial
R. Mark Shepherd applies the same servitude and devotion to whomever
hes helping, whether nancial clients or one-legged skiers.
For over 10 years, Mr. Shepherd of Shepherd Financial Partners in
Winchester, Mass. (broker/dealer, LPL Financial), has been deeply
involved with AbilityPLUS Inc., a Waterville Valley, N.H.-based organization
that provides adaptive sports programs such as skiing, biking, and water-
skiing for people with disabilities.
More than 10,000 people have been served over the last decade, and
the demand is tremendous there are extremely few facilities in the
U.S. set up solely to provide active outdoor fun for the physically
challenged. The program attracts people nationally and internationally.
We bring them to a place where they are on parity with everyone
else, Mr. Shepherd said. On a typical winter day, AbilityPLUS enables
skiing experiences for those with Down syndrome, brain injuries, cerebral
palsy, autism, and blindness, as well as amputees and severely injured
service members from the Wounded Warrior Disabled Sports Project.
Mr. Shepherd is energized by seeing all these folks whiz down the
slopes in their specially adapted prostheses, skis, halters, and sleds
some skiing alone, some guided by partners.
Its a gift were given every time we meet them, he said.
