2021 First Responder Appreciation Golf Outing

Posted by Jenna Martin

A Golf Outing Success

It's not everyday we are surrounded by 120 firefighters, police officers, and EMS professionals. On August 20th, we hosted the 2nd annual Battle of the Badges at The Den at Fox Creek Golf Course in Bloomington, IL.

First Responders from across Illinois signed up their foursomes and took time off work to spend the day with us. We work alongside them everyday as we respond to a fire loss at a home, vandalism call for a board up, or a vehicle accident resulting in repairs needed to a home or business. We respect these heroes at the highest level and host this golf outing to show them just a glimpse of our appreciation, completely free of charge to them.

New this year were company sponsors! Ten local companies stepped up and donated in a huge way! From monetary donations to prizes, the following companies helped make this event possible, and we are so thankful to work alongside them everyday.

Dinges Fire Company

Baxter's American Grille

Just passing along a section of a text received from a client: "Menold has been awesome! All their people have been fantastic." It’s really easy to complain and pass on the complaints but always great to hear the positives! Keep up the great work and thank you for taking care of my clients!

Denise F. Edelstein, IL

Thank you so much for the kindness you have shown my mom, Sandra. I can't express enough how you turned a bad situation into a manageable one. You will be highly recommended in the future. It's nice to know that there are still compassionate companies in this world. Bless you, your company, and families.

Mark J. Morton, IL

I was very pleased. From the minute I made the phone call they were at my residence within an hour. Everything they told me that would be done was done. They were extremely timely and they communicated with me every single day. It was done on time and exactly how they said it would be done. The condition of our basement was like new after they completed the job. I was extremely pleased and I would definitely recommend them.

We were very happy with Menold’s continued standard of excellence! We will continue to do business with them in the future. From the estimating through completion, they did a great job!

Thank you for all your help. Every employee of Menold's has been so kind and patient helping me through a very stressful time. And I do so appreciate it.

They were excellent, and treated me very well. I felt like the first priority, and they are good people.

Menold brought my house up to code, which was wonderful. My house is in better shape now than it was before the fire. They did everything to please me and more. Everyone was very pleasant and helpful. Mark went way beyond what I expected him to do. I was never made to feel like I was bothering anyone, even though I called several times - I always got my questions answered. I would highly recommend them!

Eleanor B. LeRoy, IL

Bruce Kensinger and all the men who worked at my house were friendly, professional and hard working. Everyone's focus was customer satisfaction, detail and quality work. My upstairs is beautiful again. For all my future home repair projects, I will call Menold!

Amy P. Peoria, IL

We found ourselves in a very difficult situation in a relative’s home. Menold was extremely helpful, professional, and supportive of us dealing with the issues. Even one of the workers the first morning said with a smile, “We are here to help.” They did a great job, in a timely manner. Would recommend them!
