We are proud to announce the\u00a0winner of our $5,000 Bill Hollman Employment Achievement Award is Rob Balucas.<\/p>\n

2015 was a shaping up to be a breakout year for Rob. He had a thriving website design and marketing agency,\u00a0babaLucas Creative<\/a>, he\u00a0<\/span>fulfilled his dream to live in San Francisco<\/span>, and was in the best shape of his life preparing for his first Ironman Race.\u00a0<\/span>Then in September, on a routine training bicycle ride, things took a drastic change. He lost control of his bike\u00a0<\/span>and crashed suffering a L1 burst fracture to his spine that left him paralyzed. However, that's not the end of his story, it's only the beginning.\u00a0 He is determined to reclaim his life, and your gifts are helping him do it!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He submitted his business plan and was chosen to receive\u00a0<\/span>the $5,000 Employment Achievement Award. These funds will help him reignite his business, hire employees, and purchase necessary software to get his career and life back on track. Watch his story:<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n
