At Libra, we are honored to be a team at work and in life. Most of us have been impacted by cancer in some form in our lives and here it has sadly touched one of our own, Chad Caudill. Chad is one of our valued teammates at our Dayton, Ohio location.

Our team came together and hosted a chili and bake cook-off event to raise money in support of Chad's ongoing expenses. The word used to describe the event was “unity” which is what we hear so often about our company. These are the times that OneLibra truly means something.

Besides raising funds to help this amazing cause, the company did get to enjoy some great baked goods and chili recipes, which were all judged and awarded. Congratulations to our winners Jim Miller (Chili Cook-Off) and Matt Kepperling-Wells (Bake-Off).

Thank you to all that contributed in one way or another and our thoughts are with Chad and his family during this time.
