After a little rain delay, our Oakbrook team was excited to enjoy a beautiful day for their last highway clean up with DuPage County's Adopt-a-Highway program.

We were excited to join one of the most significant Engineering and IT job fairs in Chicago with NSBE where a few of our HBK reps joined over 300 attendees for a great career networking event. NSBE, founded in 1975, supports and promotes the aspirations of collegiate and pre-collegiate students and technical professionals in engineering and technology.

It was fun to be back at the Big Brother Big Sisters (BBBS) Annual Tailgate in Soldier Field and enjoy a night of food, drinks, and games as they expand their reach and lifelong impact on Chicagoland youth.

It was a great day for our Austin team members to get moving and be outside to join the American Heart Association at its Heart & Stroke Walk. Alongside the other walkers and participants, it was inspiring to see everyone come out in support of research, training, and medical breakthroughs.

We were grateful to sponsor and return to the annual Construction & Transportation Awards Luncheon with March of Dimes to honor industry companies, organizations, and individuals, and support health for all moms and babies. The event was a great success and is projected to raise about $264,000!  This is a significant increase over the $220,000 we raised last year, and over our 2023 goal of $245,000.

HBK employees in Lake Mary enjoyed another great volunteering event at the Clean the World facilities. Together, they sorted through and prepped hygiene products to be distributed all around the world to communities in need!

Our team of volunteers was welcomed back to Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry for its Science Works event. They hosted a table where participants could win swag by completing our sandbox activity, testing their skills, and learning more about utility engineering. It was a great day for children and families to learn about cool jobs and hot careers in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) straight from the professionals at the Museum-wide career celebration.

It was great to join La Casa Norte for an afternoon of art and touring their facilities. We connected with their team and clients while expressing our creative energy through drawings. It was also incredible to tour their facilities, where they offer housing for young adults so that they can gain independence, empower families, and impact the community.

Our Tulsa volunteers have loved their continued partnership with the OK Food Bank. For the October session, we were excited to team bond and pack up 1,400 pounds of food to help fight hunger, feed hope, and support Oklahomans in need.

It was a beautiful day for our volunteers to support the Mercy Home Heroes by cheering and providing Gatorade and fuel so they could cross the finish line of the Chicago Marathon in support of Mercy Home's mission and help Mercy Home kids. With every step the runners took, they helped give abused, neglected and abandoned children a safe, loving home.
