The Muscular Dystrophy Association is a voluntary health agency -- a dedicated partnership between scientists and concerned citizens aimed at conquering neuromuscular diseases that affect more than a million Americans. The MDA continue its worldwide effort to combat neuromuscular diseases through research, and professional and public health education.

RKA Petroleum Companies is doing its part to help out this year by participating in the Bail for Jail Fundraising effort. Roger Albertie, CEO, and Patty VanLeuven, HR, were arrested early morning May 9, 2002 by participating Van Buren Police Officers and were held in jail until they raised over $2,400 through the help of supporting colleagues and friends.
