Local Contractor Volunteers to Aid Local Non Profit Organization

Minneapolis – April 14, 2008 - Meyer Contracting Inc. has volunteered to lead a capital improvement campaign for Bolder Options, a Non Profit Organization providing mentoring for at-risk youth in the Twin Cities.

Bolder Options has seen tremendous growth since former Gopher and NFL great Darrell Thompson took over as Executive Director of the organization in 1995. The success of the organization has reached local and national acclaim including: being recognized as a top mentoring program by the White House in 2005, voted “Best Charity” by Minnesota Monthly magazine and featured as one of the top charities in the nation by the Today Show in 2006.

In order to support the continued growth of the organization, the facilities face critical improvement needs. The current headquarters is located in a turn of the century Georgian style mansion listed on the national register of historic buildings. The facility is in need of: Architectural review and specifications improvements, asbestos abatement of mechanical components, a roof replacement, new plumbing infrastructure, HVAC infrastructure for cooling, and various interior/exterior cosmetic improvements. The organization has established a capital improvement campaign, and is seeking in kind donation of labor and/or materials, cash donations, or donations of services at cost.

Meyer Contracting Inc., a Native American female owned general construction company based out of the Twin Cities, has agreed to help lead the campaign, as it looks for participation from various Twin Cities area Architects and Contractors. References:
