Outside
of work, Maurer-Stutz’s Josie Esker, PE, has been a part of the local roller
derby league, the Peoria Push Derby Dames, for over three years.andnbsp; While the
sport of roller derby is hard-hitting action packed sport, the Peoria Push is
also a not-for-profit organization, focusing on the empowerment of women,
raising money for local charities, and volunteering within the Peoria community.
andnbsp;Known as “Little Miss Sunshiner” on the track, Josie plays as both a
jammer and a blocker on the Push’s travel team, the Demolition Dames.
andnbsp;While Josie does not plan on leaving the Push organization anytime soon,
“Shiner” has recently announced her retirement from playing roller derby.andnbsp; Her
last bout will be in late June at the Civic
Center in Peoria. To get tickets to see Josie’s
farewell roller derby bout (tickets to be released shortly) or for more info

Maurer-Stutz is proud to continue our sponsorship of the I Spy A Wish Team Adventure.
In the second year of the I Spy A Wish Team Adventure, our goal is to adopt the wishes of 4 area children by raising $25,000. This includes in-kind donations of products and services of close to $3,400 per wish and average expenditures of approximately $6,000 per wish. In fiscal year 2011, the foundation fulfilled 766 wishes, the most ever in chapter history!
I Spy A Wish will be fun and filled with prizes. The adventure will begin at 1:30pm on Saturday July 20th. Participants use clues to find sponsored stops in the Peoria Area. Teams meet Make-A-Wish kids along the way.
Have fun with us as we raise money to help grant wishes through Make-A-Wish Illinois! Make-A-Wish grants the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich their lives.
Please visit the event website or contact Stacy Borho for more information about sponsorship.
