One of the employees is a co-chair. Over 30 employee-volunteers participate during the school year by visiting a local elementary school. Employee-volunteers hand out water, candy, and anything else needed by the thousands of walkers. The company provides the funds, and employee-volunteers provide the hard work, to help refurbish a home including painting, cement work, and anything else that can be done. The company is the title sponsor for the CF walks held in St. Louis, Cape Girardeau, Springfield, Alton, Columbia, and Fairview Heights.
Employees volunteer to help at the walks, and also to walk and raise additional funds.
The company has sponsored this program for many years. For more information visit Cystic Fibrosis . The winners are chosen based on high school recommendations and an essay. The company is the title sponsor of this walk, in affiliation with the AMC Cancer Research Center. Employee-volunteers help with the walk, and also participate in the fun held in October.
