United Way of Dane County Names Lobby After Dan & Patti Rashke (TASC) Family Foundation
Madison, WI (May 8, 2024) – On Monday, May 6, members of the Dan & Patti Rashke (TASC) Family Foundation, TASC employees and United Way staff gathered to celebrate the generosity of the Rashke Family and the TASC Corporation and their commitment to a $1 million legacy gift to the United Way Foundation designated during our Centennial year. We unveiled the new name of our lobby at the Anderson United Way Center – The Dan & Patti Rashke (TASC) Family Foundation Lobby.
“The impact Dan and Patti have made possible over the past 25 years is truly incredible,” says Renee Moe, President & CEO of United Way of Dane County. “Their generosity and thought leadership have been instrumental in enhancing our work and launching us into the next century of impact and innovation – and we’re so thrilled to have their name on the lobby of our building! I’m endlessly inspired by their dedication and the legacy they’re building here in Dane County.”
“Our philanthropic efforts are anchored in a commitment to strategic philanthropy and the creation of shared value, ideals that are both fostered and embodied by United Way of Dane County,” says Dan Rashke. “This commitment dates back over 30 years ago when Patti supported Meriter Hospital’s campaign, and it grew when my father, the founder of TASC, and I launched our first United Way workplace campaign. Since then, our involvement has expanded to include the development and execution of diverse strategies within the campaign and broader community impact initiatives. We are truly honored to have been a part of this incredible journey and look forward to deepening this strategic partnership in the years to come.”
Pam Reynolds, TASC’s CEO, shares, “At TASC, our commitment to enhancing the health, wealth and well-being of our customers, employees and communities is woven into everything we do. We remain steadfast in our support for United Way. Beyond our employee fundraising efforts, we also reinvest funds locally to support the significant impact United Way has in Dane County. Additionally, we leverage our expertise to simplify charitable giving by providing workplace giving accounts and empowering nonprofits to offer essential employee benefits with little to no cost to them.”
Legacy giving is a beautiful and strategic way that many extend their impact on the community beyond their lifetime. The United Way Foundation exists to support United Way’s mission of improving lives and strengthening Dane County. The Foundation provides a long-term base of support and the flexibility to strengthen our community as it changes. Through the Foundation, individuals and families can leave a lasting legacy of caring.
