Colley Elevator Co. recommits to charity initiative

BENSENVILLE - Colley Elevator Co. said it will renew its commitment to Colley Cares, the company's philanthropic program that is tied to elevator modernization sales.

Now in its second year, the program focuses on contributions to five charities each fiscal quarter. The charities selected are based entirely on employee suggestions.

At the start of the quarter, staff from across the organization offer feedback regarding their preferred charities. Five are selected and Colley Elevator earmarks $100 from the sale of each modernization project during that time. At the end of the quarter, the funds are disbursed equally to the chosen organizations.

To date, the company has donated more than $12,000 to a variety of groups through the Colley Cares program.

"Colley Elevator has a rich history of charitable contributions going back decades. We're happy to engage our employees in the process and give them a voice in the groups we support," said Craig Zomchek, the company's managing partner. "During this past year I was inspired to personally match the company's contributions to a handful of additional organizations."
