Having supported the event since the early days, Mader is proud to continue playing a part in bringing this event to life
“Being part of the communities where we work is incredibly important to us here at Mader. We recognized early on what the Elko Gold Rush Challenge meant to the local community and wanted to play our part in helping deliver a great show. We’ve proudly sponsored it ever since.” – John Greville | Mader North America President
With skilled Mader technicians living and working through the Northern Nevada region for years, we know our job doesn’t end in the pit. We believe it’s about giving employees a sense of purpose and a reason to represent the Mader name with pride.
“I’ve attended the Elko Gold Rush for the past six years, and every year it keeps getting bigger and better. There are always new events and activities being added. In addition, being able to meet the community we work in is always rewarding.” – Michael Kenyon | Mader Nevada Area Manager
