About Us
In order to make a positive impact in our community, CGO launched its new community service initiative, CGO Cares, in August 2022. This program was designed to show support for charitable organizations that are meaningful to our employees. During the first year of this initiative, we have supported 10 different organizations through donations and by hosting various community events such as toy drives, book drives, and food drives. Additionally, we have raised awareness for these organizations by having speakers come into the office and talk about their work and by giving our employees the option to take the afternoon off from work to volunteer at a nonprofit. To date, the organizations we've supported include Bernie’s Book Bank, Susan G. Komen, Help Heroes of Ukraine, Lisle Township Food Pantry, Abby's Blankets of Strength, Loaves & Fishes, Cycle for Strength, PAWS Chicago, Link Unlimited Scholars, & Big Brothers Big Sisters of Will & Grundy Counties. Our efforts have been successful in making a difference in our local communities and furthering the mission of these organizations. We look forward to continuing our commitment to community service initiatives that benefit those in need and demonstrate our core values as a company.
