In the Community...

As a private company working for the public good, we are committed to making a difference in our community. As such, our principals are actively involved in many charitable and community service organizations:

• The First Tee of Charlotte. Dedicated to enriching the lives of Mecklenburg County's young people, First Tee incorporates character-building and life lessons into an introduction to the game of golf.

• Jacob's Ladder. Founded in 1998, Jacob's Ladder helps unemployed and underemployed individuals find and maintain employment. The organization's four-step process gives clients the skills they need to search for jobs, network, interview, etc. In addition, Jacob's Ladder works with local businesses to ensure the availability of employment opportunities for clients.

• Council for Children. The Council for Children advocates for young people falling through the cracks in the juvenile care system, many of whom are victims of physical abuse, neglect, substance abuse, etc. Drawing on the dedication of its attorneys, advocates, and other professional staff and volunteers, the Council for Children offers hope to children who need it the most.

• Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Foundation. Established in 2004 by Charlotte-area business and civic leaders, this non-profit foundation funds worthwhile programs and initiatives that do not make it into the Police Department budget.

• McLeod Addictive Disease Center. The largest substance abuse treatment facility in the Carolinas, the McLeod Center separates itself from other addiction programs by making almost all of its treatment options available on demand. Since opening its doors in 1968, the McLeod Center has expanded to include eight narcotic treatment clinics across North Carolina.
