“This contest has been such a rewarding way for RK Dixon to give back to the Bloomington and Peoria communities,” said Bryan Dixon, president and CEO of RK Dixon. “The response was incredible. There were more than 72,000 total online votes
during the two voting phases. The real highlight of the contest, for us, however, will come when the Project Linus and Hearts at Home will begin to see the improvement in
their day-to-day business when the new technology is up and running and they are better able to serve the very people that cast those votes.”
