In the late summer of 2020, when we started AE Cares, the idea was to build upon one of the core values of AE Business Solutions: Engage Locally, serve your community both inside and outside of AE. We knew caring and serving veterans was something important to us, but we weren't sure how, how we could make a difference? Our support for veterans began simply, but powerfully. On Memorial Day, there are tens of thousands of gravestones across WI that need remembrance flags placed near the headstone. AE Cares volunteers have placed thousands, literally thousands of flags to help remember and honor those who gave their lives in support of our country.In 2021, we along with much of the world, we watched the injustice of George Floyd's death. We instantly knew that racial equality was something we wanted to fight together for as AE Cares. We acknowledged that many of us, we were and are late to the fight, but we were reminded that even those who are late, the fight for racial equality needs more and more advocates, allies and friends. We learned through past voices, current authors, community speakers, our friends, our colleagues and our community, and we agreed and committed to foster a culture of learning, advocacy and partnership. Our first partnership was with Maydm in Madison, and we're so excited to continue to partner with Maydm to help equip girls and youth of color in grades 6-12 with the technical skills to engage in and revolutionize the technology industry.We also wanted to enable service opportunities for all the employees of AE Business Solutions. We created AE Cares Days and we provided each employee 2 days annually where they can each serve their community. The employees of AE have served at retirement communities, nature preservation sites, food pantries and food banks, churches, community events, holiday toy drives and so many other local, community service locations.At AE Cares, we're just getting started and we'd love for you to join us.
