"George Elfering has a heart for kids. He knows that they need experiences in life to create strong social skills, learn critical thinking and grow strong bodies. George also knows that not everyone is meant to be great at everything they try. He is a sponsor for a youth golfing program. Because of his contribution, all kids who participate get a trophy too! All efforts are recognized. As George said, "not everyone is a champion golfer. That doesn't mean they didn't try hard. They shouldn't go home feeling bad about their effort. You should be proud that you did your best."

"In a moving tribute, thousands of flags were placed at Fort Snelling National Cemetery in Minneapolis, Minnesota for Memorial Day. For the first time in 35 years, a flag waved at every single grave. Each one was placed with care as a small symbol of respect and appreciation for the veterans who served the United States of America. On the Friday after Memorial Day volunteers removed and stored all the flags. Our franchisee, Joe Foerster, was one of the volunteers who helped remove the 200,000 flags. ."

"When I am not performing my "magic" on a customer's leather/vinyl, I (along with my wife) am a volunteer firefighter at Bergheim Volunteer Fire Dept. It is a good feeling knowing that I am doing my part to help protect my community and neighbors. It is also a great way to learn life-saving skills that can be used in any situation."

And So Much More...
2011 and PastWhat We've Done.
At Color Glo corporate, we've spent countless hours and time contributing to several causes. While we still have many more to support, we're humbled by the gratitude of those whom we've been able to inspire to work harder for the future.
Our corporate office came together, and not only raised money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, but we each climbed 30 flights of stairs in honor of this cause. While the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society works diligently to find a cure, we are proud to assist in any venture, big or small.
Two members of our corporate office came together for the Muscular Dystrophy Association and agreed to be a part of the MDA "Lock-up" where each person was asked to raise money in support of MDA.
Once the goal was raised, each person was released. It was a unique and fun event that proudly raised funds for individuals and families living with, and affected by Muscular Dystrophy.
We've made a commitment to make regular contributions to several organizations, including but not limited to:
The Wounded Warrior Project
Hope Chest for Breast Cancer
The Shriners Circus
The Ronald McDonald House
Hammer Residences - a home for disabled adults
Doctors Without Borders
and more.
We encourage you to join us in our efforts to support our community - one person at a time!
