Seventeen years ago, Graham Tire started a program called the “Extra Mile Program” to recognize an outstanding employee of the Fort Dodge Community School District. Each year Graham Tire donates a set of Goodyear Tires of the winner’s choice for their vehicle. Past winners have ranged from cooks to administration. Last year’s winner was Lakisha Haugland. She did not need tires until this fall but Graham Tire still wanted to recognize her.
