Community Involvement

Big Brothers Big Sisters seeks to change the lives of children facing adversity for the better, forever.They operate in communities all across the United States. Their mentors work with children in the community, in their schools, and on military bases, and many places in between. This organization pairs a child with a role model to start a one on one relationship built on trust and friendship that can blossom into a future of unlimited potential. Bowl for a Kid's Sake is done every year all across the country. We raise money and then bowl for kid's so that they can have the opportunities many of us are fortunate to have.

 

Art on the Square is ranked as the #1 art show in the nation. This premier event in the metro-east region offers visitors the chance to meet artists, enjoy family entertainment, children's workshops, taste fine cuisines, and take a walk through our historic neighborhoods. This year the office sponsored an artist to go to a grade school and work with children. Our artist taught children the fine art of working with metal and stones to create exquisite jewelry. We also volunteered our time for this event by helping the artists with their needs. This was a fun experience for all and we look forward to helping this event in the years to come.
