Dave Mulcahy, Monarch Materials Group, Supports ADM Victory Bell Project with $20,000 Donation

Adel, Iowa - March 20, 2024 - Dave Mulcahy, Chairman of the Board of Directors with Monarch Materials Group, is delighted to announce his commitment to the ADM Victory Bell project in Adel, Iowa. This initiative, spearheaded by the ADM Alumni Association in conjunction with Jim Peters, Mayor of Adel, and ADM alumni grad, aims to resurrect a cherished symbol of community pride and spirit.

​The ADM Victory Bell, a historic tradition for 116 years, holds significant sentimental value for the residents of Adel. Unfortunately, the bell was absent from the community for 38 years, leaving a palpable void. In an effort to revive this beloved symbol, the ADM Alumni Association embarked on a journey to design, cast, and produce a new ADM Victory Bell.

The bell will be permanently located in the Tiger Pride Plaza at the new ADM High School campus, visible as fans go in and out of sporting events. It’s close to 30 inches in diameter and weighs 500 pounds, making it an impressive representation of community pride.
Dave Mulcahy has pledged his support to the project by generously matching funds raised by the community, contributing a total of $20,000. His commitment underscores Monarch Materials Group's dedication to fostering community engagement and supporting local initiatives.

"We are thrilled to be part of this meaningful endeavor to restore the ADM Victory Bell to its rightful place in the heart of the Adel community," said Dave Mulcahy. "Monarch values its deep-rooted connection to Adel and is proud to contribute to the revitalization of this cherished tradition."
