Lowell & Nadine Andreas FoundationLowell Andreas was a philanthropist and a longtime contributor to United Way. His commitment to the community, particularly his passion for youth and education, was reflected in his generosity as the Greater Mankato Area United Way’s largest donor to date. Lowell joined his wife Nadine when he passed away in 2009 at the age of 87, but their legacy will continue to impact lives in the greater Mankato area.

Olseth Family Foundation The Olseth Family Foundation is working to improve the community through support of arts, education, the environment and the underserved. In 2018, the foundation’s passion for literacy and equal access to books led to Greater Mankato Area United Way’s Fourth-Grade Book Project, which provides a Shel Silverstein poetry book to every fourth-grader in the region. The Olseth Family Foundation supports many other community initiatives, including

the BackPack Food Program, Echo Food Shelf, CADA House, VINE Faith in Action, and the Recharge Mankato initiative in partnership with the Mankato Area Foundation and Minnesota State University, Mankato.

Anonymous Donor

Lyle & Kay JacobsonAs former owners of Katolight Corporation (now MTU Onsite Energy), Lyle and Kay Jacobson have been longtime supporters of United Way. They have a history of conducting successful employee campaigns, giving personally, giving through their business and giving through their family foundation. In addition to supporting United Way, Lyle and Kay give additional support to many of the United Way agencies. Their philanthropic areas of emphasis are early childhood

development, youth activities, education, the arts and humanitarian organizations. Overall they have a keen interest in enhancing the quality of life in the Mankato area helping to make it an attractive community for employee retention and recruitment.



Bill & Beth SoderlundBill and Beth Soderlund are tremendous community supporters who are strong in their faith and believe in planting the seeds of giving. They base their support of United Way upon the sacred scriptures, specifically the verses from the gospel of Matthew and Luke; ‘Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me,’ and ‘Give, and it will be given to you. A good

measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.’

Bill and Beth see United Way as very good soil that produces a beautiful harvest through its benefits to people of all ages. Bill and Beth have nine wonderful children and reside in St. Peter. Bill also supports United Way through his St. Peter-based company, Vet-Rx.

Todd & Jackie SnellLongtime Mankato residents Todd and Jackie Snell are an integral part of the Greater Mankato community, from owners of Snell Companies to active members of various non-profit organizations. Snell Companies, including Snell Motors, Snell Powersports & Equipment, Snell Auto Wash and Snell Tire & Lube, has created job opportunities and additional traffic in Mankato, supporting the regional hub and overall development of the area.

Throughout the business growth, Todd and Jackie have kept the Mankato community a priority. On top of continually supporting United Way, they are involved with a number of other area non-profits and also find themselves spending much of their time in the community with their children’s activities. Todd chaired United Way’s successful 2016 campaign as part of the United Way board and is an active volunteer.

Phil & Margie SlingsbyPhil and Margie Slingsby feel strongly about supporting United Way because it reaches so many people in the Mankato area. There are many excellent non-profit groups and every year, United Way evaluates the needs of the citizens of the Mankato area and distributes the funds accordingly. Phil worked with the United Way campaign at Scheels for many years. As a retired Scheels manager, he saw how the

corporation supports its communities, and Phil and Margie have been following its example of giving back to the community through United Way.

Steve & Beth Weisbecker Though not born and bred in Mankato, Steve and Beth Weisbecker have a deep, deep love for this city and the area. Since becoming a United Way “loaned executive” back in the late ’70s, Steve has seen first-hand what amazing work the various agencies do for our region. United Way has been and will be their number one charity for giving.
