Mark Spader has been on the Foundation Board since the inception of Rebekah’s Legacy Foundation, holding the different positions throughout the years as member, Chair, and currently the position of Treasurer. He has also held many different board positions with multiple non-profits over the years, majority of them in the shooting and hunting sector, and previously was appointed to fill a vacant City Council seat in Alexander, ND. Mark currently works as the Business Development Consultant for NCM Associates, working in many different industries and travels all over the US & Canada meeting with clients.

Mark got married in October 2023 to his wife Sarah (who was widowed) and became the stepfather to three beautiful little girls: Rhiannon (10), Layla (8) and Cecilia (5). Although Mark did not have any children of his own prior to his marriage, he has always been very close to all his nieces & nephews and known as the “favorite uncle”. He has now been blessed with the opportunity to be a dad to three wonderful girls. Their family resides in Rapid City, SD and they keep very busy in all their activities. They enjoy many things together including camping, hunting, shooting, hiking, fishing, attending sporting events, and now golfing together (Sarah and girls just started golf lessons).

This Foundation has a special place in Mark’s heart as he has lost three of the closest people in his life (2 of them to suicide & 1 to cancer). He knows the importance of helping individuals and their families, no matter what the need is, and is honored to be a part of this wonderful Foundation.
