LA CROSSE, Wis. – We know that living in the Driftless Region is something truly special. The rolling hills, the vibrant communities, and the deep-rooted connection to the land are what make Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, and Minnesota feel like home. But we also know that protecting this unique landscape and supporting the people who live here doesn’t happen by accident. It takes real, on-the-ground effort from dedicated individuals and organizations.
That is why Fitzpatrick, Skemp & Butler, LLC is incredibly proud to have sponsored the inaugural Driftless Region Sustainability Awards, hosted by Sustainable Driftless, Inc. on April 18 at the Pettibone Resort in La Crosse.
When you or a loved one is dealing with the aftermath of an unexpected event-whether it’s a car accident, a truck collision, or a slip and fall-the world can feel overwhelming. During those stressful times, having a strong, supportive community around you makes all the difference. At Fitzpatrick, Skemp & Butler, LLC, our commitment to our neighbors extends far beyond the courtroom. We believe in nurturing the very fabric of our region, ensuring it remains a safe, thriving, and beautiful place for generations to come.
The recent awards banquet brought together approximately 120 attendees to celebrate leaders in land management, business, community impact, and education. It was inspiring to see the dedication of the nine organizations honored for their outstanding sustainability work across our four-state region.
We want to extend our heartfelt congratulations to the award recipients:
- Thoren Farms (Stockton, Illinois) for Outstanding Land Management
- Farmers Land Investment Cooperative (Decorah, Iowa) for Outstanding Business
- City of La Crescent (Minnesota) for Outstanding Nonprofit or Community
- Longfellow Middle School (La Crosse, Wisconsin), receiving the George Howe Legacy Award for Outstanding Educator
