The Cancer Support Center

Rose Paving has sponsored and participated in the Cancer Support Center Walk of Hope event, in Homewood, IL since 2007. Proceeds of which are used to provide free treatment services and support to 70 Chicago Southland communities.  In 2011, Rose Paving has also sponsored several other events, including the anniversary golf & tennis outing, Halloween and Holiday events.  These sponsorships and events help fund comprehensive resources that help people improve their quality of life during the cancer experience.

Rose Paving has donated funds to the nearby Olympia Fields and Burr Ridge Police Departments.  Proceeds of which are used to purchase new dashboard cameras for police squad vehicles, taser devices, and vehicle striping.

One Warm Coat

Rose Paving has donated coats from employees, family, and friends to One Warm Coat. This is a national non-profit organization that assists in the donation of coats. One Warm Coat helps individuals, groups, companies, and organizations across the country collect coats and deliver them to local agencies that distribute them, at no cost, to people in need.  Close to 3 million coats have been collected and distributed through One Warm Coat activities since 1992.

University of Chicago Airway Biology Research Group

Rose Paving has donated funds to this group at U of C, a federally funded center for structured multidisciplinary collaboration of MD, and PhD investigators who are appointed in the Departments of Medicine and Pediatrics, and whose central interest is in the cellular pathophysiology of asthma and the maturational development of airway cells and tissues.  Every cent the group raises and receives is put towards studying various therapies and treatments for asthma.

Feed My Starving Children

Rose Paving has volunteered time to package food for Feed My Starving Children - which is a non-profit Christian organization committed to feeding God’s children hungry in body and spirit. The approach is simple: children and adults hand-pack meals specifically formulated for malnourished children, and the meals are shipped to nearly 70 countries around the world.
