Scheck Family Helps Homeless Veterans Just over a year ago, Judy Scheck, wife of Founder and Chairman Richard N. Scheck, read an article in the newspaper about a housing program for veterans. Within minutes, she was convinced this was a project in which she wanted to be involved. Concord Place, an assisted living facility in Northlake, Illinois, was teaming up with Kendall County to Salute Veterans and The Walter and Connie Payton Foundation. As part of the veteran’s housing program, the three organizations were combining efforts to offer a modified rent schedule to the men and women who served in one of our country’s military branches. Judy recognized an opportunity to leverage her generosity and her family’s network of friends to help this program succeed. But she was interested in more than just helping with the cost of rent; she was focused on providing a more tangible reality.

Coach Marc Giving Back to the Community Scheck’s Director of Estimating & Proposals Marc Thompson, or better known as “Coach Marc” on the playing field, finds time to give back to the community by coaching kids baseball. Coach Marc played baseball from the age of 7 until he was 22. “Sports are meant to be fun and if you work hard at a young age in something that is fun, it will carry over to all aspects of your life,” states Coach Marc, who has coached 4-year-olds to 22-year-olds for the past 20 years. “I always said I would give back to the game I love. I had a lot of coaches over the years that I know worked hard to make me a better player and I want to do that for this generation of players,” he said. Honoring Our Veterans For 30 years, Scheck Industries has supported employees who serve our country and has hired skilled veterans who have brought valuable experience into their work at Scheck. In the November issue of Scheck Scope, we highlighted employees who have not only made a difference at Scheck but who have gone above and beyond in their personal lives, as well. Please visit here. Greater Chicago Food Depository In 2014, Scheck Industries contributed the funds we would otherwise have spent on an annual party to the Greater Chicago Food Depository, to benefit so many in our community whose need is greatest at holiday time. Shirley Youmans, Secretary at Scheck’s Battle Creek, MI office Calhoun County 4-H Dairy Starter Calf Club, Marshall, MI Shirley is a leader for the Calhoun County 4-H Dairy Starter Calf Club in Marshal, MI. She has been volunteering for four years. The Club teaches kids the importance of caring for a calf from birth to sale day. They learn hands-on care, financial record-keeping, how to get buyers, trade etiquette and respect between buyers and sellers, grooming and handling for show day and during fair week. Shirley’s grandsons and 4-H participants Drake and Parker pose with their calves in Marshall, MI. “In the four years that I have been a 4-H leader I have a lot of respect for what the kids have to go through to raise their animal. It means working with the calf daily for six months, knowing when it is not feeling well, and learning what it takes to raise a grand champion.” The American Cancer Society Black & White Ball The Black & White Ball is one of the premiere gala events of its kind to be held in the Chicago suburbs, drawing an elite crowd of 400 luminaries from across the Chicagoland business and philanthropic communities. Proceeds benefit the American Cancer Society. The Black & White Ball has raised over $2.2 million in the last five years to support the American Cancer Society’s mission to save lives and create a world with less cancer and more birthdays by helping people stay well and get well, by finding cures and fighting back. Every year, the Scheck family and many of its employees look forward to attending this important benefit. Rick, as co-chair of the event’s live auction, has donated his time and skills to attract unique, high-value auction items that maximize the ball’s fundraising efforts. “The Scheck family has been a distinguished partner in the battle to end cancer and a dear friend of the American Cancer Society.” Steven M. Derks Chief Executive Officer American Cancer Society, Illinois Division, Inc. Hephzibah Children’s Home For more than seven years, Scheck Industries has supported Hephzibah and the children and families it serves. From making each child their own special package on their birthday to helping decorate the home during the holiday season, the Scheck family truly enjoys time spent with the children. This year, Scheck Industries renewed their support of Hephzibah Children’s Association as a table sponsor for the Heart of Gold Ball, and helped Hephizibah in its efforts to raise more than $300,000 to provide programs for children and families. Hephzibah is Oak Park’s oldest social service agency, beginning in 1897. The word “Hephzibah” means “comforting mother” in Hebrew, and reflects its founder’s mission to create a nurturing home for children in need. Hephzibah offers short- and long-term group homes for children traumatized by neglect and abuse; child welfare and family services; foster care and adoption programs; and award-winning day care. They even organize a sibling camp that reunites brothers and sisters living in different group, foster or adoptive homes. www.hephzibahhome.org Navigation Letter from Founder Letter from President Executive Leadership Senior Management Board of Directors Community Involvement History Awards & Recognition Scheck Industries Employee Email Login Employee Portal Login Careers Contact Us Contact Us Scheck Mechanical Corporation One East Oak Hill Drive, Suite 100.
