Colley Cares – Colley Elevator Gives Back – 1st Quarter

Today is Memorial Day for the heroes that gave their lives so we could have a better one.  We have empowered our Colley Employees to pick organizations that help a great cause.  So we'll never be on a Normandy Beach, jungle, rice field, desert, or urban setting getting shot at for freedom, but we can use our day to day grind to help those who need it more than we do.  Pay it forward, pay it backward, say thanks to a vet, remember the fallen, do something great today.

History on Colley Cares - Colley Elevator has had a history of making donations to our customer’s causes, foundations, fundraisers, etc. During the last 2 years Colley Elevator has done several additional philanthropic initiatives to give back to our communities amid the Covid 19 pandemic.  During one of our sales meetings we came up with a new way to give back; we will be making an additional donation when we book each one of our projects to one of five different organizations.  

Bensenville Food Pantry – https://www.bwdfp.org/ - Our local food pantry.  We work with several on the elevator side and the great work that goes on here to help people make it to the next paycheck, or to take care of them during a rough patch, warms my heart.

Toy Box Connection - https://www.toyboxconnection.com/- Connecting children in need and less fortunate with toys and experiences.  

Howard Brown - https://howardbrown.org/ - I knew this group as an HIV/AIDs service provider from my time in the City.  They do so much more!  Great group!  Happy we get to be their service provider at a few locations.

Lurie Children’s Hospital  - https://www.luriechildrens.org/ - One of our great Chicago children’s hospitals.  Always a good choice to help!

Ronald McDonald House – https://rmhccni.org/ - Giving families the ability to focus on their sick or injured child.
