Rose Paving donates $5,000 to the Cancer Support Center
As part of its corporate community relations program, Rose Paving Company, headquartered in Bridgeview, has donated $5,000 to the Cancer Support Center, a place of help, hope and healing in the Chicago southland.
Kevin Tiernan, regional account executive, presented the donation July 12. In attendance from the Center were Melissa Barrett, executive director, and Paul Erickson and Russ Prekwas, board of directors.
The donation will go toward sponsorships of the annual golf outing in July, the 14th annual Walk of Hope in October, as well as Halloween and holiday events. These sponsorships and events help fund comprehensive resources that help people improve their quality of life during the cancer experience.
All programs are facilitated by experienced clinical professionals, and services are always free to anyone affected by cancer in 70 Chicago southland and Northwest Indiana communities.
“Alan Rose and Rose Paving have been longtime supporters of our mission. We are able to provide services to men, women and children in our community living with cancer because of this history of generous support,” said Melissa Barrett, executive director of The Cancer Support Center.
“More than 2,000 individuals and families come to us each year for wigs, education, counseling or support programs, and they find a place to face their cancer diagnosis with hope and understanding.
“At The Cancer Support Center, we offer services to the entire family at no charge because we understand that cancer impacts the entire family. This gift continues to provide much needed financial support, which is crucial to our ability to provide these services.”
“Reaching out to the surrounding community is of tremendous importance to all of us at Rose Paving. We are grateful for the opportunity to sponsor these important events, and we enthusiastically support the extraordinary efforts of The Cancer Support Center, which helps to improve the quality of life to those families stricken by cancer,” said Alan Rose, chief executive officer.
In addition to this effort, Rose Paving’s community relations program contributes to or sponsors a wide range of community endeavors throughout the year. Read more about the program at www.rosepaving.com/community-outreach.
Established in 1974, Rose Paving Company maintains its corporate headquarters in Bridgeview, operating branch offices nationwide, including one in Streamwood.
