YPN Celebrates Yearlong Partnership at CDHS Yappy Hour

Posted by Young Professionals on Thursday, July 10th, 2014 in Community Involvement, Event News, Latest News | Comments (0)

YP01On Wednesday, July 9, sixteen members of  the Bismarck-Mandan Young Professionals Network (YPN) spent some time at the Central Dakota Humane Society (CDHS), located just south of Mandan on Highway 1806, to wrap up a great year of service and partnership. The group first took part in the dog walking certification class that all volunteers must complete in order to be allowed to walk the facility’s rescued dogs. Now, these YP’ers can visit CDHS to help walk dogs in the future. The group also did some service work on the property grounds. This included pulling weeds, trimming trees and spreading mulch. The property was nicely groomed by the end of the night due to all their hard work. The evening ended with a BBQ and social with food provided by CDHS.

YP Network Now Accepting Applications for Nonprofit Partner

Posted by Young Professionals on Tuesday, June 17th, 2014 in Community Involvement, Uncategorized | Comments (0)

The Bismarck-Mandan Young Professionals Network (YPN) is now accepting applications for an area nonprofit organization to partner with for the next year as part of the Network’s ongoing strategic plan.

YPN_logoOnly network members may submit applications, but area nonprofits are encouraged to seek out a member to apply on their behalf. Click here for an application. Applications are due July 15 and will be reviewed by a committee of YPN members.

The partnership – running from August 2014 to August 2015 – will give the selected nonprofit an opportunity to connect with young professionals from around Bismarck-Mandan, while providing network members with service opportunities throughout the year. All YPN fundraising efforts for that year will go towards the chosen nonprofit organization.

“Our members are looking to give back to our community, and by focusing our efforts on one main nonprofit, we are able to become more invested in the cause,” said Heather Welle, YPN president.

The YPN partnered with the Central Dakota Humane Society in 2013-2014, supporting the animal shelter’s events and overall mission to provide for, house, rehabilitate and relocate lost, stray or homeless animals. Network members donated money and gave their time and talents throughout the year to assist at the shelter north of Mandan.

“We were so pleased that YPN chose CDHS as their nonprofit partner for this past year. They helped at nearly all of our fundraisers and made a huge impact on what CDHS was able to accomplish during the year. They are an amazing group of people who believe in the idea of giving back to their community. Not only do they impact the community through their jobs, but also through the time and talent they donate,” said Cameo Skager, CDHS Board President.

Rock beat scissors in a best-of-five rock, paper, scissors shootout to decide the sixth annual Chill-N-Bowl. Team captains Kyle Herman of Kyle Herman Agency Aces and Theresa Getzlaff of First Timers faced off to see who would be crowned the night’s Grand Champion. The Grand Champion is determined by a combined average of the team’s chili and bowling scores. This year, those scores resulted in a tie. With a two-to-one lead going into the fourth hand, Herman would deal the winning blow, taking home the trophy for the second time in the event’s six-year history.

History

IMG_6140_ResizedThe Chill-N-Bowl was started by the Entrepreneur Team in 2009 and serves as the only fundraiser for the Bismarck-Mandan Young Professionals Network. Since 2010, the organizers have partnered with a local charity. The event includes a chili cook-off, a bowling tournament and fundraising activities. Jim Mellon, owner of Midway Lanes in Mandan, donates half of the alley’s lanes each year for this event.
