Colley Cares – Colley Elevator gives back – 4th Quarter 2022

As we wrap up our year end and move on to a new year we are donating money to 5 great groups that are suggested by Colley Elevator employees.  This has become such a cool program that allows Colley Elevator employees to help the philanthropic organizations they feel strongly about.  We will be sending our donations out shortly.  Thank you team Colley and thank you to these great groups that do great things every day!

History on Colley Cares - Colley Elevator has had a history of making donations to our customer’s causes, foundations, fundraisers, etc. During the last 2.5 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. 

4th Quarter group

 

Christmas without Cancer – https://christmaswithoutcancer.org/ - Christmas Without Cancer is a non-profit organization that provides holiday gifts, as well as basic necessities to local families that are stricken with cancer. The organization was started, in 2003, by an oncology nurse, working in Oak Lawn, Illinois.  This was suggested by our elevator mechanic Justin L.

Howard Brown - https://howardbrown.org/ - I knew this group as a HIV/AIDs service provider from my time in the City.  They do so much more!  Great group!  Happy we get to the their service provider at a few locations.  This suggestion was a Colley choice to work with one of our great customers.

 

Take a vet fishing  - https://www.takeavetfishing.org/ - I know some vets, I know some vets that really like fishing.  I know some vets who love fishing but can’t get out by themselves anymore.  This is a great thing!  This was a suggestion elevator mechanic Jim B.
