creative werks has been awarded the Elk Grove Village Business Excellence Award for Community Support from the Made in Elk Grove Manufacturing & Technology Expo.
The award was presented Monday, October 11th at the annual expo luncheon hosted by Elk Grove Village's mayor, Craig B. Johnson, and guest speaker, Olympic gold medalist Jackie Joyner-Kersee.
With more than 500 businesses in Elk Grove Village, the Expo awarded seven companies that demonstrated commitment and leadership in helping the Elk Grove Village community during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Some of the contributions creative werks made to its community in 2020 include: donations to the Greater Chicago Food Depository; COVID-19 cleaning and personal safety supply donations; back-to-school kits for families in need; thousands of dollars’ worth of meals to front line health care workers at local hospitals; and funeral expenses paid for its staff and staff family members who lost their battle with COVID-19.
"We're honored to receive this award," says Steve Schroeder, President. "creative werks has fostered a culture of philanthropy and empathy from its start; this recognition celebrates the hard work from our team in 2020, along with the company's efforts to give back to the community and creative werks’ families. As our community continues to recover from the pandemic, creative werks remains committed to helping its associates, families, and community through ongoing initiatives, volunteerism, and donations.
