Our Industry Recognition
Our Community Partners
Our commitment to creating meaningful partnerships that endure begins with the clients we serve every day and extends to the communities in which we work and live. To us, being a good community partner means doing everything from supporting our fellow local businesses through advertising, sponsorship, and representation on area boards and committees to giving back by hosting toy and food drives, participating in volunteer activities, and making charitable contributions through the Bartholomew Anniversary Fund. These are some of the many community organizations we partner with and support:
