TASC actively participates in the annual United Way fundraising campaign. The company allows employees to organize and manage employee fundraising during normal work hours. Fundraising presentations are made during regularly scheduled staff meetings. In addition, TASC matches the employees’ donations on a dollar-for-dollar basis.
In 1999, TASC received a Silver Award for contributing between $50-$74 per employee, an Award of Distinction for increasing employee pledges by 25 percent or more, and an award for having a top ten percent increase in employee giving.
TASC has offered employment opportunities to participants in the Madison Area Rehabilitation Centers program. TASC’s employees annually contribute to the United Way. In 2000, TASC implemented a program to allow employees to receive paid time off for volunteering efforts.
In addition to fundraising and volunteering efforts, CEO, Dan Rashke, is currently serving as
the Chairman of the United Way of Dane County Key Club Committee.
TASC owners, Don and Dan Rashke have been involved in many community projects and
organizations.
Don is very active in Community Theater, supporting these programs with financial and promotional assistance, volunteering and acting. Don produced a local play entitled “Bang” which dealt with gun control. As result of the play, donations were made to the Wisconsin Committee on the Prevention of Child Abuse, allowing the Committee to expand its services and programs.
Don Rashke was also involved with Special Olympics, sitting on the statewide Special Olympics committee and chairing the sub-committee on promotions that was responsible for contracting and securing celebrity involvement. Both Don and Dan assisted in running workshops for Special Olympics participants on noncompetitive and team orientated sporting events.
Through the efforts of Don and TASC, uninsured families can now purchase health insurance for family members with epilepsy. As an active member of the Wisconsin Epilepsy Board, Don also put together a program to underwrite Life Insurance coverage for people suffering from epilepsy. Before these efforts, insurance policies for epileptics were extremely difficult to obtain.
Dan Rashke has been very interested in the well being of Wisconsin children and it is reflected in his fundraising and volunteering efforts. Dan was active as a volunteer in Big Brothers/Big Sisters for five years. In addition, Dan was also on the Board of Directors for a local non-profit childcare center and donated over $6,000 to the center.
Recently, Dan got involved with The Help Fund, LTD. The Help Fund is a public charity organized for the purpose of helping individuals and families who are in severe financial need due to medical problems, including, but not limited to uninsured medical expenses, organ transplants or other tragic life altering events generally considered beyond their control. Dan and his wife Patti organized a fundraiser for this group raising over $10,000 for the organization.
