12 Months of Giving Wrap-Up
We Had a Great Year Celebrating Our 35th Anniversary!
As we close out another successful year at RMI, we want to share one of the brightest highlights of 2025: Our year-long commitment to giving back. At the beginning of this year, RMI sought to celebrate our 35th year in business, not by throwing a party or celebration, but rather by giving back to the communities we live in. The efforts put in by the entire staff have been fantastic, and it’s been such a rewarding year supporting the organizations that matter most to our team.
During our 12 Months of Giving initiative, our team volunteered over a dozen hours, donated hundreds of dollars, and collected an immeasurable amount of donations to select charitable groups. This initiative has been extremely gratifying in reminding our team of the impact we can have outside of the office when we come together as one. We are “Getting There Together” for not only our industry, but the community as well.
Take a look back at our year of giving!

APRIL
Cheyenne Animal Shelter – Evan Thompson
April brought a volunteer opportunity at the Cheyenne Animal Shelter. The team helped the shelter with everyday tasks such as kennel clean-up, dishwashing, play area trash pick-up and puppy playtime.

We’re incredibly proud of the collective heart and dedication our team has shown throughout 2025. These efforts reflect who we are, not just as a company, but as people committed to making a difference. As we step into 2026, we look forward to another year of meaningful impact for our communities and clients.
Happy holidays from the RMI team! We wish everyone a safe and joyful holiday season.
– Mathias, Lori, Scott, Kim, Nicole, Evan, Alyssa, Ashlie & Stacey
