Giving Back to Our Community
We sponsor several local charities and charity events, as part of our community outreach.
The McGMO was established in 1997 by Tim McGregor, Mike Grover, John Monroe, and Kim O’Keefe. Each individual had been touched by cancer in a direct way. Tim, Mike, and John lost their fathers (Dean McGregor, Ivan Grover, and Calvin Monroe) to cancer within a six month period, and Kim was battling cancer himself. Friends since high school in Delavan, they did more than turn to each other for support. They decided to raise money to help others fighting cancer.
They agreed upon a golf outing that would directly benefit the local hospital. The only stipulation for the Vince Lombardi Cancer Clinic at Aurora Lakeland Medical Center was to have the funds applied toward comfort items for patients.
Each year Beacon participates in this special function to help raise awareness and support this important cause.
Dane County Humane Society is an open admission shelter saving all of the healthy and treatable animals who come into their care. DCHS accepts all animals that need assistance no matter their age, health status, or temperament. DCHS guarantees that all healthy cats and dogs and those with treatable medical/behavioral conditions will find new homes.
Beacon is proud to contribute to this cause.
The Meals On Wheels Association of America is the oldest and largest membership organization supporting the national network of more than 5,000 Senior Nutrition Programs that operate in all 50 states and U.S. territories. The tireless work of these programs – supported by a dedicated army of 2 million volunteers – delivers a nutritious meal, a warm smile and a safety check that helps keep 2.5 million seniors healthy, safe and living independently in their own homes each year.
Beacon is proud to say that its team members help this cause by delivering these meals to those in need.
It was Gilda Radner’s visits to a Wellness Community during her bout with cancer that inspired Gilda’s Clubs as we know them today.
