Businessolver, a leading SaaS-based benefits administration technology company and it’s charitable arm, the Businessolver Foundation,
today announced a partnership with RAGBRAI which includes an ongoing
annual sponsorship of $10,000 in memoriam of a Businessolver employee.
The newly formed partnership includes providing heart healthy checks
to RAGBRAI riders throughout the week-long ride and a special evening
tribute and toast.
Chris Charron was a long-time employee and member of the
Businessolver family. His impact on the organization traversed both
professional and personal lines, and he will be forever remembered for
his significant contributions to the proprietary Benefitsolver platform,
and the gracious and unassuming spirit of giving he drove amongst the
Businessolver workforce. Chris Charron had many passions in life, of
which one significant outlet was supporting the RAGBRAI organization.
Whether he was riding with his family and friends, reporting through
virtual RAGBRAI in the early hours of the morning, creating freedom
rides to honor the lost lives on 9/11 or aiding the organization in
adopting the digital era over the last 20 years – Charron was and is a
significant face and voice in the RAGBRAI history.
“Establishing a fitting legacy for Chris Charron was our core
mission,” says Businessolver Senior Vice President and Businessolver
Foundation Lead Brooke Knight. “We’ve accomplished that through our
partnership with RAGBRAI, and believe that this creates a tribute and
legacy to a man who gave so much, to so many over the years.”
The evening tribute will take place in Leon, Iowa at the Freedom Rock
located on the town square. Many Businessolver team members will
participate in this leg of the ride in honor of Chris Charron. This stop
on the RAGBRAI tour seems fitting given Chris Charron’s strong
patriotism. Friends and family will have the opportunity to share
stories and pay tribute. In true Chris Charron fashion, a toast in his
honor will conclude the ceremonies.
