⛳ Benchmark is proud to sponsor a hole at today's 29th annual YMCA Golf Classic, benefiting the Y Local Scholarship Program at the Cedar Rapids and Marion YMCA. Every dollar raised helps a neighbor here in the metro get access to childcare, camp, youth sports, and a place to stay healthy. We have supported the Y in one form or another for over six years, and it is always a joy to do so.
See you out there!

That storm came in FAST. 🌩️

This shot was taken during an active roofing project right as the skies made their decision. But here's the thing: the tie-off between the finished section and the work still in progress was solid, and every bit of roofing material on that roof was covered and protected before the first drop fell.
That does not happen by accident. It takes proper planning, clear specifications, and having the right eyes on your project when it counts.

That is what Benchmark is here for. We are your eyes on the roof during construction, so you always know what is happening up there, even when the weather has other plans.

Happy National Nonprofit Day!

At Benchmark, giving back is personal. Through our Benchmark Cares program, employees who hit a milestone anniversary get to choose a nonprofit close to their heart, and we make a donation in their name.

So far this year, our team made some incredible choices:
Wisconsin Veterans Network, Austin Strong Foundation, Huntington's Disease Society of America, Wounded Warrior Project, National Parks Foundation, local 4-H Program, Special Olympics Iowa, and the Wisconsin Humane Society.

No corporate list. No assigned causes. Just real people giving to what matters most to them.

That is who we are. 💙

Happy National Nonprofit Day to every organization making a difference today. We are proud to stand behind the causes our people care about most.

👀 We showed up to do an inspection, and apparently someone got there first. This praying mantis had a LOT to say and zero fear about saying it.

What is going through their mind right now? 🤔

Still haven't caught up on season one of Facilities Forward? No worries, it's not going anywhere.

The season walks through the real decisions behind pavement management: why pavement fails gradually instead of all at once, why "we'll fix it next year" gets expensive fast, and how organizations move from reactive repairs to programs that actually hold up at scale.

Summer is the perfect time to binge it. Every episode is under 20 minutes, easy to fit into a lunch break, a commute, or an afternoon outside. You can't beat that.

Way to go, Ben! 👏
Benchmark is proud to support great organizations like United Way of East Central Iowa that are making a difference in our community.

At United Way of East Central Iowa, we believe strong communities don't happen by accident. They are built when people come together and help one another to transform East Central Iowa and change the story for our friends and neighbors.

One of those people is Ben Fiedler, who is a member of our Campaign Cabinet and a recent Board Orientation & Leadership Development (BOLD) graduate. Check out his "why" for supporting UWECI and giving back to his community! 👇🏼
