Our story  

Our foundation was established by a group of friends that wanted to give back to the community. We were inspired by the philanthropic efforts of our parents and wanted to make an impact ourselves. Our goal is to bring people together for causes that are near & dear to our hearts, valuable to the community, and fun for everyone. We all bring something different to the table.
Ideas and improvements are always being generated to make our foundation the best it can be.

Our Donations

Throughout the years, we have pledged to help out a local organization that is very close to our hearts. The Kelli Joy O’Laughlin Memorial Fund was established by Kelli’s family to keep her memory alive through future education opportunities for young people. Kelli, a member of the class of 2015, was a freshman at Lyons Township when her life was taken by a burglar in her home.  Kelli’s family and much of the community come together to remember her, celebrate her life, and raise money for her memorial fund.  The mission of the Kelli Joy O’Laughlin Memorial Fund is to give young people opportunities to develop their greatest potential of friendship, kindness, leadership skills, confidence as well as their education through college scholarships and other charitable activities.
