I was honored to accept the 2026 North Star Award on behalf of On Systems Inc from Ronald McDonald House Charities, Upper Midwest at their Celebrate Love Gala! 🌟
RMHC’s staff, parents, and kids were dealing with network outages that lasted hours and sometimes days. Staff couldn’t do their jobs, parents struggled to reach doctors and get medical results, and kids had no Wi-Fi, games, or TV when they needed a distraction most.
With our partners at CTC, our On Systems Inc team spent a year rebuilding their network, firewall, cybersecurity, Wi-Fi, door controls, TV systems, and cloud platforms. Hearing staff say “this has never worked right until now” made every late night worth it.
Over the last year, RMH helped 5,800 families, and the gala raised more than $668,000 against a $250K goal!! Thank you to the Nisswa Lions Club for sponsoring the Golf Tournament in our Explore Brainerd Lakes area, helping to benefit children at Ronald McDonald House Charities, Upper Midwest!
I’m endlessly proud of my team On Systems Inc and grateful to Jill Evenocheck and everyone at Ronald McDonald House Charities, Upper Midwest for this recognition.
IT rarely gets thanked. This time we were. ❤️
It was neat to see the Minnesota Viking Cheerleaders there and some of the Minnesota Twins as well!
