Community Involvement

Redstone owners Doug Nedde and Larry Williams are extremely generous with their time and financial resources, as is evident by the following list of organizations in which they are involved. They also encourage Redstone employees to get involved in the local community (even during company time), and many are serving on Boards, organizing charity events, working as volunteer fire fighters, foster parents, and more. Redstone’s extensive corporate sponsorships reflect an interest in supporting the continued economic and cultural growth of the area, while donations to local, regional, and national non-profit groups demonstrate support of many important causes regardless of the visibility it offers the company in return. Redstone understands the value its business participation can bring to an event, campaign, etc. Our commitment to the larger community and foresight to build relationships across all sectors has become part of our company’s mission and philosophy.
