Paffrath 100 | Giving Back
March is all about giving back
March’s centennial theme is GIVING BACK
As a small, family-owned business, our roots run deep in this area. For generations, we’ve believed that when our community thrives, we all thrive. Supporting local events, organizations, and families isn’t just something we do — it’s who we are.
We’re honored to support and give back to:
- Special Olympics Minnesota — an incredible organization empowering athletes of all abilities through sport, inclusion, and community. Todd has cherished years coaching basketball for Special Olympics, creating unforgettable memories and friendships along the way.
- Stephen Reynolds Foundation
- The Link
- Numerous area chapters of Ducks Unlimited
- United Way of West Central Minnesota
- Women Inspiring and Networking (mentoring young girls)
- Olivia’s House of Hope
- Pheasants Forever
- Family Promise
- Willmar Stingers
- Toolcats
- Children of the Promise
- Many area school booster clubs & proms
- • Silent auctions and benefits for people in need
We also love supporting all of our surrounding communities — showing up for town celebrations, local events, school activities, and the moments that bring people together across the area.
Giving back isn’t a campaign for us — it’s a commitment. It’s showing up. It’s cheering you on. It’s donating, sponsoring, volunteering, and celebrating alongside you.
Thank you for allowing us to be part of your milestones and memories for nearly 100 years. We are grateful to give back to the communities that have given us so much.
We’re also giving away a $1,000 Paffrath & Son Jewelers gift certificate every month this year!

So stay tuned!
