Thank you to Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine and Dr. Cloud for collaborating with us. On Saturday, April 18, we hosted an eye bank presentation, tour, and suture training in our new training/research lab space in our South Campus building.

This marks the first of many training sessions to come as we utilize this new facility to help advance the future of eye banking.

Thank you to Team Rieck Services for not only sponsoring, but also joining us in the 5k!

Giving the gift of life takes steps of courage and community support.

Last Saturday, members of the Rieck Services team laced up our running shoes for the 10th annual Strides for Life 5K. This important event raises vital awareness for organ, eye and tissue donations.

We were proud to walk and run in support of two of our valued customers: Solvita and Lions Eye Bank of West Central Ohio. The Strides for Life 5K actively strengthens support, education and recognition of donation efforts throughout West Central Ohio.

Rieck Services has stood as a strong community advocate for more than 130 years. We always believe in showing up for the people and organizations that make our region a better place to live.
