TEAMING UP FOR A LEGACY
Associates Step Into Memorial Walkathon
HR associate DAVID WALKER says one of Lori's loves was walking. She was known for her morning walks, where she would reflect and pray while watching the sunrise. "We wanted to do something to honor her, and that's how the memorial walk came about," he explains. The event, which took place in May, was more than a walk; it was a celebration of Lori's spirit and the impact she had on everyone she met. Participants wore T-shirts emblazoned with her uplifting phrase, "We got this." "Lori was the best person. She did not have a mean bone in her body," says David. The walkathon also served as a fundraiser, with over $500 raised for Empower Upper Cumberland, an organization supporting low-income families. "We wanted to find something we could do with the same heart that In a heartfelt tribute to a cherished colleague, our corporate Human Resources team recently held the inaugural Lori Wester Memorial Walkathon. Lori was a six-year team member who passed away in November last year.
