“We’re here to make good things happen for other people.”
At Becker’s Healthcare we believe our motto applies both inside and outside of our office.Many team members serve on boards for charitable organizations and are regular volunteers in their free time. Giving back to the community is an important part of our culture at Becker’s Healthcare. Each quarter, Becker’s Healthcare chooses a charity to dedicate a day of service to.
Over the past 5 years the Becker’s Healthcare team members have volunteered and donated to over 12 different causes in the Chicago area.
Chicago Dance Marathon
This year we had 15 Becker’s team members dancing for 13.1 hours to raise money for kids treated at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital in Chicago. Our team contributed over $24,000 in 2015. Read more about Lurie Children’s Hospital here.
Hatch Day
Our team took a day to volunteer at Hatch Day, an event organized by the Julian D. King Foundation created in memory of Jennifer Hudson’s nephew. We handed out over 1,000 backpacks and school supplies to low income kids.
Habitat for Humanity
We participated in a Team Build Day through Habitat for Humanity. We had the opportunity to put the finishing touches on a house being built for a low income family located in the Pullman neighborhood of Chicago
.
PAWS Chicago
Our team spent a day lending a hand to PAWS Chicago, an organization dedicated to building No Kill communities and ending the overpopulation of homeless animals. We engaged with the animals as well as assisted the center with various tasks that support their cause.
