We support local organizations and initiatives
We work to build up our communities through both official relationships and donations as well as the efforts of our staff who donate their time and talents to community organizations. Below is a look at many, but not all, of the organizations we belong to, donate to or otherwise help out with.
| Organization | Description |
|---|---|
 | Beecher 4th of July Commission We have supported the Beecher 4th of July celebration for decades. We currently have a couple of employees that serve on the commission board. We make a large donation each year to support the 4th of July festival. Also, all of our employees help at some point during the event serving food, pouring drinks or doing anything else that is needed. |
 | Beecher Beautification Commission One benefit of having our past "Party at the Pointe" and now "Party in the Park" is donating money to the BBC. We are grateful for what they do to help keep Beecher looking nice and we love helping them do so. |
 | Beecher Chamber of Commerce The BCC is very involved with the local businesses in Beecher. From advertising to events they sponsor, they do many things to drive business to Beecher. In support of this, we have many employees that volunteer their time for these events and also attend the monthly meetings. |
 | Beecher Education Foundation We support the BEF on multiple levels. We have a couple of employees that serve on the Foundation's board and vote on the call for proposals that come from the teachers in the school district.
