Don and Roxanne Weber
Don and Roxanne Weber feel very blessed to be able to give back to others what’s been given to them. A self-described “farm boy and Marine,” Don overcame bad choices early in his career to rise from living on the streets to founding Logistics Health Incorporated, a company he would grow to employ more than 2,000 employees tasked with designing, implementing, and managing health and wellness programs for the U.S. Department of Defense and other clients through a national network of providers. He would later sell the company. The Webers have provided tremendous support for numerous projects and scholarships at Viterbo University, including the School of Nursing Building and the Weber Center for the Performing Arts (so named to inspire others to give). One of the towers of the nursing facility bears the name of Don’s beloved mother, Rita M. Hammes. Many local organizations have also received their assistance, including the United Way of La Crosse, Gundersen Health System, and Mayo Clinic Health System. Providing good jobs to people in the region has been one of their most important accomplishments. Don served 393 days as a Marine rifleman in the Vietnam War and getting veterans the services and help they’ve earned is especially important to him. Strong believers in the tenants “faith, family, serving others, and perseverance,” the Webers know the most precious gift anyone can give is of themselves and their time. “Our purpose is to help others,” Don said.
