DEBBIE GREEN MEMORIAL 5K RECAP

Posted by & filed under Community Involvement, Kaley Employees.

AUGUST 2018 – Kalkreuth Roofing and Sheet Metal (KRSM) served as Title Sponsor and entered a team for the 21st Annual Debbie Green Memorial 5K Run/Walk for Leukemia in Wheeling, West Virginia.

For the fourth consecutive year, KRSM had the largest team with 94 employees, family, and friends registered for the team challenge. “This is such a wonderful community involvement and wellness initiative,” said KRSM President and CEO John Kalkreuth. “Our employees recognize that and look forward to it every year; we have never had a team of less than 50 people.”

The event commemorates Debbie Green, who lost her battle with Leukemia in 1972. Her legacy lives on through the emotional and financial support this event offers to other local families who are battling childhood cancer. Throughout the years, this event has helped over 40 children and raised over a million dollars. We are thankful for Race Director Ron Green for organizing another great event in memory of his sister.

This year, the race benefitted Mara Keenan (age 5) and James Baljak (age 5) who are suffering from Leukemia. Thank you to everyone who participated in and supported this year’s event.

GLAA BACK TO SCHOOL DRIVE

Posted by & filed under Community Involvement.

AUGUST 2018 – With the continued support and donations from Kalkreuth Roofing and Sheet Metal (KRSM) Kentucky employees, Business Development Manager Lyndsey Martin was able to collect over 70 items for the Greater Lexington Apartment Association (GLAA) Back to School Drive.

“Over 50% of students in Fayette County alone qualify for free/reduced meals, and many parents are unable to provide the basic school supplies their children need. In addition, schools across the country are facing severe budget cuts and lack the funding to purchase necessary supplies. A school supply drive is an easy way to have a profound impact on students and their learning experience,” said Project Administrator Mollie Absher, who supported the cause.

We sincerely appreciate the generosity of our teams in all locations as they continue to serve their communities!

KALKREUTH DONATES $31,590 TO EASTER SEALS REHABILITATION CENTER

Posted by & filed under Community Involvement, Kaley Event.

JULY 2018 – Kalkreuth Roofing and Sheet Metal (KRSM) held its annual amateur golf tournament on the Arnold Palmer and Robert Trent Jones, Jr golf courses at Oglebay Resort in Wheeling, West Virginia on July 14 and 15. The Kalkreuth Amateur Golf Championship (KAGC) Benefitting Easter Seals is a premier tournament in the tri-state area and hosted almost 240 golfers from more than 10 states this year. Due to continued growth and increased sponsor involvement, KRSM took over what was previously known as the Stoney Hollow Tire Amateur Golf Championship for the 2018 tournament, which is a continuation of a tournament spanning nearly five decades.

In addition to the weekend amateur tournament, KRSM hosted the 4th Annual Kalkreuth Vendor Invitational (KVI) on Friday, July 13 as a way of saying ‘thank you’ to nearly 50 vendor partners who sponsored the Kalkreuth Amateur Golf Championship (KAGC). This event also took place on the Palmer and Jones courses and was preceded by a welcome dinner on July 12 where the initial check presentation to Easter Seals took place with our two Co-Title Sponsors, ABC Supply and Johns Manville. With additional vendor donations on the day of the KVI, the total contributions increased by more than $6,000.

Proceeds from these golf events contribute to the annual donation to Easter Seals Rehabilitation Center in Wheeling. Their work is to create solutions that change the lives of children and adults with disabilities, or other special needs, and their families. “We are thankful for the continued support from our golf events, which ultimately gives us the opportunity to provide a donation that continues to grow each year,” said KRSM President and CEO John Kalkreuth. With an overwhelming amount of generosity and continued support, KRSM was able to donate a total of $31,590 for 2018. KRSM has donated over $90,000 to Easter Seals over the last 7 years.

Stemming from the continued success of these golf events, 2018 also marked the creation of a nonprofit charitable organization called Kalkreuth Charities which will help KRSM streamline all community involvement and philanthropic efforts company-wide.

KRSM is sincerely grateful for everyone’s involvement in this year’s events.

MEET THE TEAM – RICKA JACKSON

Posted by & filed under Kaley Employees.

JULY 2018 – Kalkreuth Roofing and Sheet Metal (KRSM) Service Dispatcher Ricka Jackson, located in our Lexington, Kentucky office, was chosen as this month’s featured employee.

Ricka first started working for KRSM in 2012 through a temp agency. After completing 90 days with the company, she was offered a full time position, gladly accepted, and is still in the same position today.

On a day to day basis, Ricka dispatches our 11 technicians to a variety of different service jobs letting them know where to go and what they will be doing. She also deals directly with customers and is often marked as their main point of contact. In addition, Ricka does a lot of behind-the-scene work including completing work orders, managing Dataforma and reports, PMAs, and sometimes even job scheduling. “Nothing is ever the same, and something new is always happening,” said Ricka. “There is always a moment of chaos, but being proactive and planning ahead helps out. Plus, I love constantly having something to do!”

One of the largest and most recent projects that Ricka has been involved with is the Summit at Fritz Farm in Lexington, Kentucky. Once the project was complete, the project manager handed it off to service to complete tenant fit-outs. After completion, there was almost a year of back and forth paperwork and maintenance calls. Ricka adapted quickly and learned to hit the ground running, be independent, self motivated, and figure stuff out on her own. “There will always be someone to help you out along the way, but because everyone is so busy, it helps to just jump right in,” Ricka added.

Overall, Ricka is very thankful for the opportunity to work for such a “down-to-earth” company. “Even though KRSM is a larger company, it still feels like a family-owned business,” said Ricka. “I have grown so much since I have been with KRSM, and I have learned a lot. Most importantly, I am beyond grateful and appreciative of all my co-workers.”

“Ricka is such a hard worker. She handles customers very well, keeps everything in order, and is always so upbeat and never in a bad mood no matter what. We would be totally lost without her,” said KRSM Service Manager Steve Mitchell.

This year, Joe had the opportunity to play in a foursome with Jason Bastin from Simon Roofing, Blair Dunckle with the University of Pittsburgh, and Scott Wilson with Daktronics.
