At Stampede, our Stampede Cares mission is to contribute to the communities in which our team members live and work. During the month of June, over 65 Stampede team members dedicated their time and energy to the 2^nd Annual Stampede Cares Challenge, to raise funds for a local non-profit organization near our Sunland Park facility – the Southern New Mexico Project, Inc. The goal was to commit to 30 miles in 30 days whether it was walking, running, or biking. To encourage motivation, Stampede offered to donate a $1 to every additional mile that surpassed the goal.  In addition, Stampede matched the participant’s donations!  The dedication and team effort led to a donation of over $4,500.

Stampede, in partnership with the Illinois Department of Public Health, held its second on-site COVID-19 vaccination event at its Bridgeview facility this past Friday, May 21, 2021. The event was open to all Stampede employees, who work at any of the three Illinois facilities, and their families to safely and conveniently be administered the first dose of the Pfizer vaccine.

With the help and encouragement of the Stampede team, the event was successful in having a turnout of nearly 150 people that registered and received their first dose of the vaccine. The second dose will be offered to those that attended on June 11, 2021. The Human Resources Team continues to aid those still seeking vaccination appointments.

Stampede has partnered with the New Mexico Department of Health and the National Guard for their first employee on-site COVID-19 vaccination event at their Sunland Park, NM facility today, April 30, 2021.

The on-site vaccination event is the latest initiative by Stampede’s COVID Safety Task Force – a group of dedicated team members throughout Stampede’s organization focused on following CDC guidelines, as well as above and beyond those measures. In an effort to continue providing a safe work environment in order to protect their employees and the community, they have established 80 + precautionary measures to reduce the risk of exposure to COVID-19 in the workplace and encourage employees to get vaccinated. The team sends out information on where to sign up for appointments on a weekly basis, offer assistance to employees that need help signing up for appointments, and offer a pay incentive for employees that get the vaccine in an effort to fight COVID-19.

The season of transition is here… and oh yeah, that delicious warmed Scandinavian mulled wine we know as a Glogg.

The season of change means the transition from all our favorite summertime fruits and vegetables to the harvest of autumn.

Not only are the leaves changing on all our favorite trees, but best of all, the change of aromas.  The aromas of fall are like no other…
