Supporting charitable programs and reaching out to the surrounding community is of tremendous importance to all of us at Rose Paving. As a result, we contribute to or sponsor a wide-range of community endeavors each year. Through our extracurricular activities, we have brought happiness and spread good will to many lives. Below is a sampling of organizations we assist.

K9S For Warriors

Which provides service canines to warriors suffering from post-traumatic stress and/or traumatic brain injury as a result of military service post 9/11. Each office takes a banner to their respective tradeshows. Attendees are invited to sign the banner in support. For each signature, Rose Paving donates $5 to K9s For Warriors.

Rose Paving, LLC/Palumbo Family Foundation Academic Scholarship

The Palumbo Family Foundation strives to make a difference in two sectors of our communities in the Chicagoland area. One is providing scholarships to well deserving students of lower income families. Without scholarships, many of these students would not realize their dream of furthering their education. The other is providing medical grants to organizations that serve the needs of local medically challenged children. Rose Paving works with the Palumbo Family Foundation to provide financial sponsorship for the foundation’s academic scholarship program.
