TeamMates Offers “A Way to Help Kids”

Bob and Sally Schmieding, owners of the successful, 40-year-old Schmieding Concrete business, have always found ways to help Lincoln’s children. For years they have purchased eyeglasses for students in need, but they wanted to do more.

“We need to find a way to help more kids,” Bob shared with his wife. But what? The couple began searching for new opportunities to impact area youth. Then Sally attended Lincoln TeamMates’ Recognition Dinner in January of 2018, an annual event that celebrates mentors and mentees. She was touched by the story of a donor who initiated a scholarship to honor his mother. “A light bulb went off in my mind,” Sally said. At the Spring Celebration in April of 2018, the Schmiedings were pleased to offer ten scholarships to help TeamMates’ mentees attend college.

TeamMates (teammates.org) depends on community-minded business owners like the Schmiedings who share the organization’s mission of inspiring youth to reach their full potential. If your business is interested in helping TeamMates support Lincoln’s youth, please call (402) 436-1990.
