Rick’s Custom Fencing & Decking Named Presenting Sponsor of Off the Air
For more than 40 years, Rick’s Custom Fencing & Decking has served homeowners and businesses throughout Oregon and Southwest Washington. Along the way, supporting the communities where we live and work has become an important part of who we are.
That commitment to community is behind our new partnership with Off the Air, a local podcast that shares the stories of people and organizations making a difference across the region. Rick’s is proud to join the show as its presenting sponsor.
Hosted by longtime Portland journalists Steve Dunn and Natali Marmion, Off the Air features conversations with business leaders, advocates, philanthropists, and others with ties to the Portland area.
Through Off the Air, Steve and Natali explore a wide range of topics affecting the region. Recent episodes have featured conversations about medical breakthroughs, the challenges facing local businesses, and the role of the Portland Trail Blazers in the city’s identity. These stories offer listeners a closer look at the people and experiences shaping life in the Northwest.
A Partnership Rooted in Community
Rick’s Community Support Drive has taken the form of outdoor spaces for local families, accessibility improvements, fundraising campaigns, supply drives, and hands-on work with organizations across the Pacific Northwest. Since the program began in 2020, Rick’s has donated more than $250,000 in materials and labor.
That support has included creating accessible outdoor spaces for children and families through Make-A-Wish Oregon, collecting essential household supplies for Impact NW, and partnering with Oregon Baseball to raise funds for CASA of Lane County.
While these projects take different forms, they share a commitment to putting our experience and resources to good use. Our partnership with Off the Air builds on that same commitment, giving us another way to support the people and organizations doing good work throughout the region.
Taylor Stanley Joins Steve and Natali
As part of the new partnership, Taylor Stanley, Rick’s VP of Marketing and founder of the Rick’s Community Support Drive, recently joined Steve and Natali on Off the Air to discuss the company’s approach to community outreach. Their conversation explores Rick’s history of giving back, ongoing involvement with local organizations, and what makes the partnership with Off the Air a natural fit.
Speaking about the new partnership, Taylor shared:
“One of the things I’ve always loved about Rick’s is that we’re in a position to make a real difference for people in our communities. Sometimes that means building something, and other times it means finding a way to support the people who are already doing great work. That’s what makes this partnership with Off the Air so meaningful to us.”
Supporting Local People and Their Stories
We’re excited to see where Off the Air goes and grateful for the opportunity to support Steve and Natali as they continue sharing the stories and perspectives of people throughout Portland and the greater Pacific Northwest.
