Giving & Community
Our community is at the heart of our business, we live in the very communities we serve and strive to make them better every day.
In the past 10 years we have made the transition of being general sponsor for golf outings and events to building a deliberate corporate giving program. Our very own Barbara Morrill is our Director of Corporate Giving, meeting with our CORE 4 to help keep a cohesive approach to our support for them and an eye on our vision.
OUR GIVING MISSION
Connecting compassion, leadership, and investments in our community.
OUR GIVING VISION
Providing leadership, and growth opportunities for all through our non-profit partners.
When Barbara and I first got together 10 years ago, we knew that we shared a love for family and the communities that we live and play in. As a mom employed by the local school system Barbara saw many of the day to day struggles families faced in our community. For me it was the connection to Veterans and my personal scouting experience in my community. It was together that we decided to make a conscious effort to provide support, education, and leadership opportunities to our community. All of the initiatives we support foster community, personal growth, and provide a network of additional support opportunities in every stage of life. Have an idea we can help with? We'd love to hear from you!
The CORE 4 we support and why:
Utica Zoo

Because peace and dignity matter more than ever!
