Clarkson in the Community: Spreading Holiday Cheer with BBBSKC

At Clarkson, community is more than just a word -- it's a core value that guides how we show up for the regions we serve. That commitment was on full display last Friday when our team traded hard hats for Santa hats to take part in the Big Brothers Big Sisters Kansas City annual Joy Drive.

This year marked our fourth consecutive year participating in the Joy Drive, and it was our largest donation effort to date. The Clarkson team proudly supported two families, while the Improve I-70 KC project office joined in to support a third family. That effort was made possible through the generosity of our project partners at Radmacher, TREKK, and MoDOT Kansas City, who helped make this year's giving truly special.

Together, the team filled an entire truckload with donated items, including clothing, household goods, warm winter gear, new toys, sports equipment, and gift cards, ensuring families had what they needed to enjoy the holiday season.

We're proud to support Big Brothers Big Sisters Kansas City and honored to play a small role in helping local families during the holidays. Giving back is something we strive to do year-round and we're grateful to work alongside teammates and partners who share that same commitment to community.
