CEOs Raise Big Bucks for March of DimesA single clay brick has little value. But when assembled with many more bricks, and fortified with mortar, the result can be a great castle or majestic cathedral. That was the rationale behind a group of Dallas / Ft. Worth area CEOs who joined together to collectively walk in the 2002 WalkAmerica.

CEOs Raise Big Bucks for March of Dimes Cynthia Driskill and Ed Rankin, CEOs of CDG & Associates and PeopleSolutions respectively, have shown that small businesses can work together to achieve big things. Preliminary results from the April 27th March of Dimes WalkAmerica fund raiser have put CEOs Walk the Walk, the team of small business chief executives they organized, into the winners’ circle. Their team stands alongside teams from companies like Bank of America and Vought Aircraft as one of the “Top 25 Dallas Teams,” a prestigious roster of the most successful fund raisers for the March of Dimes in the Dallas area. Their team also raised the largest amount of walker dollars in the North Texas division. Driskill, a newcomer to the March of Dimes North Texas Division Board of Directors, felt that small businesses were under-represented among the March of Dimes’ major contributors. She and Rankin decided to change that by inviting CEOs of companies with revenues of $3 million or more to join together. Seventeen other CEOs accepted Driskill’s and Rankin’s challenge and the team succeeded in raising $23,800. Besides CDG’s Cynthia Driskill and PeopleSolutions’ Ed Rankin, team participants included CEOs Adrienne Beam, Insite Productions, Charlie Tusa, Tusa Office Solutions, David Spurlin, Microwave Transmission Systems, Don Hanratty, Optimance, Drew Clancy, Publishing Concepts, Greg Carr, Carr Law Firm, Keela Narramore, Team Builders, Larry Burgess, Helmsman Financial Partners, Larry King, KGA Group, Linda Crawford, Delta Dallas, Lois Melbourne, TimeVision, Matt Fossen, Viking Capital Group, Inc., Rex Kurzius, Resulte, Rollie Waters, Waters Consulting Group, Tom Sadler, Executive Press, Valerie Freeman, Imprimis, and Ziggy Pflaster, Zimports International. This is the first year of what Rankin says will be an annual event. “I envision this growing larger each year and spreading to other locations around the country,” Rankin said. Driskill added that their team’s goal for next year is to have 250 CEOs and to raise $250 thousand. The March of Dimes is a national voluntary health agency whose mission is to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects and infant mortality. Founded in 1938, the March of Dimes funds programs of research, community services, education, and advocacy to save babies.
