St. Vincent de Paul (SVdP) of Madison, WI, a long-standing partner, came to us with an opportunity to help support construction of a new building to house its updated St. Elizabeth of Seton Program and other community-focused programs. The centralized Seton Program Service Center will provide homeless families guidance and support as they transition to housing. The new space will house a playroom, private offices for case management, a communal computer workspace, and a group learning space.
Our team was able to donate something no other organization could provide - Healthy Air. In addition to a financial contribution, our engineering team identified the right AprilAire solutions to create a Healthy Air environment for the Seton families and case workers which included Thermostats, Humidifiers, and a Dehumidifier.
70 employees, family, and friends raised $9K climbing over 162K steps at American Family Field to support the American Lung Association in its efforts to save lives by improving lung health, preventing lung disease, and creating a healthy world for all.
Exposure to radon gas continues to be the #1 cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. We know getting the word out saves lives. The only way to know if you’re being exposed in your home is to test for this odorless, colorless gas. This past year, we gave out 2,200 FREE Radon Test Kits to attendees of community events.
Our support helped raise nearly $1M at Coaches vs. Cancer sponsored Wisconsin events for this nationwide collaboration between the American Cancer Society and the National Association of Basketball Coaches. This organization works to increase cancer awareness and promote healthy living through year-round awareness efforts, fundraising activities, and advocacy programs.
Our team loads cars with a variety of groceries including dairy, meat, canned goods, and fresh fruits and vegetables every Thursday, rain, shine, or blizzard. In 2023, over 40K people received food support from the St. Vincent de Paul of Madison on Thursdays alone – up a staggering 40% vs. 2022.
On a monthly basis, our team serves a nutritious lunch to over 100 neighbors in need. The Luke House, right down the street from the building where our company began, has been feeding the hungry since 1986. Its mission is simple: feed the hungry, no questions asked. Guests show up and they are fed. No paperwork, no screening.
Our team took part in a Sleep in Heavenly Peace event where we built and donated 60 beds with pillows and bedding. The real joy came in delivering them to overjoyed Madison-area children who previously were sleeping on a couch or even the floor.
With employee donations and contributions from our partners Complete Office of Wisconsin, Fiskars, and Camelbak, we were able to provide almost 700 personal care items, as well as gift cards for clothing and athletic gear, and 35 backpacks to local
students to help get the school off to a good start!
Our ongoing support for the Madison Library Foundation signature fundraising event helped raise over $100K. Funds provide grants to the library for programs, technology, collections, and enhancements ultimately benefiting the nearly 2 million people who use the resources at the library’s nine locations.
Five new scholarships were awarded to outstanding seniors pursuing a technical or academic education after high school graduation. Our belief in the power of education to make a difference is reflected in our strong, consistent support with 322 scholarships granted since 1938.
Two scholarships were awarded to Dane County, Wisconsin seniors honoring Vernon Hellenbrand, past President, and CEO of Research Products Corporation (RPC).
