Giving Back to the Northeast Ohio Community<\/h3>\n

American Cancer Society<\/strong>
\nGreat Lakes furnished and maintained a condo for GLC employees who worked on an out of town project.\u00a0 At its completion, GLC donated the furniture to the American Cancer Society.<\/p>\n

Cleveland Rowing Society <\/strong>
\nGreat Lakes Construction recently partnered with The Cleveland Rowing Society to enhance its boat launching facility in the Flats. The nonprofit group helps provide access to the water for rowing teams across Northeast Ohio, and promotes environmental stewardship along the Cuyahoga River. The Great Lakes team provided premium material, labor, and equipment to repair the parking lot.<\/p>\n

Harvest for Hunger <\/strong>
\nAt our annual Great Lakes Holiday party, we collected 200 pounds of food and cash donations. The Great Lakes family donated all the food items and monetary gift to Harvest for Hunger.<\/p>\n

Little Red School House <\/strong>
\nGreat Lakes was contacted to help dress up the historic, two-room \u201cLittle Red School House\u201d in Berea, Ohio. The building was restored and has been used by the Berea Fine Arts Club and the Berea Jaycees for meetings and community projects.
\nGreat Lakes helped keep visitors safe. We supplied the labor and equipment to place soil on the west side of the building, filled in groundhog holes and regraded.
\nGreat Lakes supplied the labor and equipment to spread two loads of limestone gravel in a parking lot.
\nJim Slater is representing the Little Red School House renovation.<\/p>\n

Math Immersion Workshop \u2013 CSU <\/strong>
\nGreat Lakes donated 25 Algebra textbooks to the Cleveland Transfer Connection Program and the Pre-Engineering Summer 2011 Mathematics Workshop. The program is a cooperative between the Cleveland State University and Cuyahoga Community-Metro Campus to facilitate academic success and degree completion, and is for students who want to pursue a career in one of the Engineering disciplines.<\/p>\n

United Way \u2013 Coats for Kids<\/strong>
\nThe Great Lakes family donated to Coats for Kids this winter season. In addition, Great Lakes held a holiday party and had a 50\/50 raffle. Half the raffle winnings went to the raffle winner, and the other half was given to Coats for Kids. The employee who won donated his winnings to the Coats for Kids charity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
