A Breakfast That Made a Difference

Some moments deserve more than a passing mention.

About a month ago, our team came together for a Give to Grow Waffle Breakfast benefiting Diabetes Dayton’s Camp Ko-Man-She, and it’s one of those events that deserves a permanent place on our feed.

Give to Grow is more than a company initiative. It’s a commitment to investing in the communities where we live and work. Throughout the year, our employees rally behind organizations that are making a meaningful difference, proving that even simple acts of generosity can have a lasting impact.

This breakfast supported Camp Ko-Man-She, a summer camp that provides children living with diabetes the opportunity to experience everything camp has to offer while receiving the medical support they need. Beyond the activities, the camp gives children a chance to build confidence, develop independence, make lifelong friendships, and spend time with others who truly understand the challenges they face.

One waffle at a time, our team came together to support that mission.

We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who stopped by, made a donation, and helped us completely fill our donation board. Seeing the board filled from top to bottom was a great reminder that when people come together around a shared purpose, even small contributions add up to something much bigger.

Events like these remind us that giving back isn’t always about grand gestures. Sometimes it’s taking a few minutes before work to share breakfast with coworkers, contribute to a cause you believe in, and know that your support will help create meaningful experiences for children and families in our own community.

To everyone who donated, volunteered, and helped make the morning a success, thank you. Your generosity will help create opportunities for children to learn, grow, and simply enjoy being kids.

That’s what Give to Grow is all about.

WPAFB Chilled Water System

The chilled water system at a high-security building on the Air Force Base was undersized and unable to keep up with demand. The facility could not operate without chilled water due to the amount of information servers in the building, and the general nature of the building itself. The entire upgrade project would need to be completed with minimal shut down time at the building. HVAC portion of this project was over $3 million.

  • MSD worked in collaboration with Diaz Construction to complete the system upgrades on time and on budget with minimal shutdowns or disruption to the facility operations.

LJB, Inc.

LJB, Inc. was renovating their Miamisburg, OH office and wanted to incorporate energy-saving upgrades.

  • MSD provided Design Build services in tandem with Greensleeves Energy Solutions, a specialist in geothermal systems.
