Colley Cares – Colley Elevator Gives Back – 2nd Quarter 2023

As we wrap up the 2nd quarter and move on to the 3rd, we are donating money to 5 great groups that have been 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 1/2 years, we have 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 make an additional donation when we book each of our mod projects. That pool of money is then divided to go to five different organizations.

2nd Quarter Group

 

Misericordia – https://www.misericordia.com - Misericordia offers a community of care that maximizes potential for persons with mild to profound developmental disabilities, many of whom are also physically challenged. By serving society’s most vulnerable citizens, Misericordia also serves the families who want the best for them, yet cannot provide it at home. Our company chose this organization in memory of Cathy Thompson – Thompson Elevator Inspection.

Feed My Starving Children - https://www.fmsc.org- Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) believes hope starts with food. As a Christian nonprofit, FMSC is dedicated to seeing every child whole in body and spirit. FMSC works with food distribution partners that stay with communities for the long haul, empowering them to move from relief to development. This was a suggestion from Account Manager Alex M.

Officer Down Memorial - https://www.odmp.org- The Officer Down Memorial Page, Inc., (ODMP) is a non-profit organization dedicated to honoring America's fallen law enforcement officers. More than 26,000 officers have died in the line of duty in the United States since 1776 and ODMP is honored to preserve their memories and give friends, family, other officers, and citizens alike the opportunity to remember the fallen and honor their sacrifices. . This was a suggestion from Julie J. in our office.

 

Marklund - https://www.marklund.org/ - Marklund is a 501©(3) nonprofit organization that serves infants, children, teens and adults with serious and profound developmental disabilities and special healthcare needs. This was a suggestion from Elevator Mechanic Sam V.

 

Elevator Museum – https://theelevatormuseuminc.org/- The Elevator Museum was built to preserve the history and artifacts of this great trade. They go back in time to show the origins and importance the elevator trade had within our country. They have assembled one of the largest collections of antique elevator artifacts in the world today. This was a suggestion from Managing Partner Craig Z.
