Hammer & NER is excited to welcome Mutual of America as a sponsor of the Reach for Ralph fundraiser. We are thrilled to return to Quincy Hall, in the heart of the arts district of Northeast Minneapolis, on Thursday, June 22, 2023.

As the Retirement Plan provider for both Hammer Residences and Northeast Residence, the local team at Mutual of America understands the needs of the employees and assist them through a personalized, full-service approach to help them build and preserve assets to achieve their goals.

Mutual of America Account Executive Jerry Bruzek has personally volunteered at Hammer in a variety of ways. Through his passion of photography, he has provided pictures of our fall cleanup at various locations and took amazing black and white photos of our Haunted House. He will also be photographing our Spring Breakfast and has shown his fun an entertaining side as a bingo caller. You will find that Jerry is pretty much up for anything and happy to pitch-in where he is needed.

“Not only do I find it personally rewarding to give back and get involved, but I wanted to be an example for my daughter so that she can appreciate all that we have and the gifts that we can share. I am happy to say that at age 15, she is still involved in volunteering. I am proud to be part of a company with a culture of making a positive, meaningful difference in the community,” said Jerry.

Mutual of America is endorsed by the American Network of Community Options and Resources (ANCOR) as well as The Association of Residential Resources in Minnesota (ARRM) for their support of and commitment to disability’s service organizations and the communities they serve.
