Furry Friends is happy to welcome new Platinum Sponsor D.A. Davidson & Company, Cameron/Dieter Wealth Management Group.
Arron Dieter, Carson Krigbaum, John Cameron, Traci Henderson, & Kim Moehlmann.
“We are a financial planning and investment management-centered practice, focused on creating financial clarity for individuals, families and non-profit organizations,” John Cameron explains.
“Our company first became aware of Furry Friends through my daughter, Piper, who had previously volunteered with them. We believe strongly in supporting local, mission-driven non-profits that align with our desire to positively impact the diverse communities where we work and live.
“Annually, we select several organizations making a difference locally and find opportunities to provide them with added assistance. Sponsorships not only provide important funding to these organizations, they provide us with the pleasure of sharing so many ‘fun evenings’ with them while financially supporting their mission.
“As to why we ‘give back’ in this way: we’re both moved and impressed by these established, smaller groups’ passion, energy and flexibility that allow us a more focused and impactful approach. The issues we’re most passionate about include housing and food insecurity, support for those affected by breast cancer, foster families and displaced children, literacy and no-kill animal shelters.
“On a more personal note, my wife, Kristy, is a children’s book author and recently published her 7th book. Piper is a financial planning major at George Fox and our son, Charlie, who just graduated from Gonzaga, is pursuing a career as an educator with a focus on chemistry, biology and math at the high school level.
“Our household includes four cats, Yuki, Blue, Belle and kitten Franklin, an Australian shepherd, Gus, and a chinchilla named Mochi. We enjoy being outdoors, travelling and spending time with family and friends.”
