Giving back Over the years Helix has regularly been involved with many philanthropic causes . “ We do a lot of charitable work . We raise money for charitable organizations chosen by our employees and we do biannual golf fundraisers ,” Fuchs says .
The Helix Golf Tournament raises money for various charities , including the Down Syndrome Organization of Southern Nevada and the 22 Warriors Foundation , a non-profit body dedicated to putting a stop to veterans ’ suicides . Last year ’ s tournaments alone raised close to $ 15,000 .
Other endeavors have included giving toys to children whose parents cannot afford them . In the run-up to Christmas , and in February this year , Helix won an award for donating to the “ Nevada Educational Choice Scholarship Program ”, an initiative to help students with limited economic means attend private schools .
These factors all contribute to Helix remaining one of the most successful and responsible electrical contractor in Nevada . Fuchs says
it ’ s all down to its people . “ The commitment and dedication of our people , and our management ’ s dedication to our people , equates to training opportunities , benefits , and longevity .”
Looking ahead , Helix ’ s Nevada objectives are bold ones . Fuchs is targeting business wins of more than $ 140 million , with $ 25 million in sales coming from Reno and northern Nevada . Maturation of the Reno office ’ s operations , with a formulated strategy and leadership structure in place , are key operational targets also in place for 2017 .
This all feeds into where Fuchs sees Helix in the next few years . “ Hopefully a leader of the market , with a very strong backlog of doing the key projects in Nevada ,” he concludes .
