At KleenMark, we know our people are the differentiators. We believe in supporting our communities, organizations, and efforts that matter to our Kleen Team and beyond. Take a look at just some of our recent outreach and events to help our local communities grow and thrive.
Outreach Highlights
Kleen Team members volunteered to visit schools to read to kids in Kenosha for the 14th Annual Reading Across Kenosha event hosted by United Way of Kenosha County. Proceeds from the fundraiser helped purchase the 400+ books which were distributed to classrooms.
“Thank you for participating in Read Across Kenosha 2024. Your dedication and enthusiasm made the event a resounding success.”

Director of Resource Development
During the annual Kleensgiving celebration, KleenMark employees gathered to participate in Build A Bike, a program to build and donate bikes to kids through Boys and Girls Club of Dane County.
This adaptive triathlon was created to give high school students with disabilities the opportunity to participate in a day filled with activity, cheering and community support. Participating students will swim at the Heart of the Valley YMCA, followed by biking and running/walking events along the CE trail to the Bank of Kaukauna Stadium at Kaukauna High School. Possibilities For All Abilities!
“We are thankful for KleenMark’s commitment to the Breaking Boundaries triathlon. Their sponsorship of a water station has been pivotal for our athletes and mentors, marking a remarkable second consecutive year of support. Additionally, we were appreciative to have KleenMark as the sponsor of this year’s inaguaral athlete-mentor breakfast. Their generous contributions help enrich and empower our participants.”

KleenMark was a sponsor and golfed at the Annual American Red Cross of Wisconsin Heroes event. The event raises funds to keep the Red Cross able to respond to local emergencies like flooding, tornadoes which impact our communities and keep much needed blood products available to hospital partners.
“Your sponsorship of the annual Heroes Golf event means so much to us and to those we serve in times of emergencies. You were an important part of helping the Red Cross raise over $138,000 this year to support our services in the community.”

Our Madison branch volunteers with River Food Pantry to help serve curbside groceries and prepare to-go meals. The River Food Pantry, works to provide access to free groceries and freshly prepared meals for pickup or delivery, online grocery orders, mobile meals, and after-hours food lockers.
“We are grateful to KleenMark for volunteering with us to help serve curbside groceries and prepare to-go meals for our neighbors experiencing food insecurity. Donations of time, money, food and hygiene essentials all go a long way to help The River nourish over 2,500 people in Dane County every week.”

KleenMark collected 196 books for the Madison Reading Project, which services children from birth to 18 years in the greater Dane County areas. Books donated are given to the children at no-charge.
“It’s all about being a partner. KleenMark doesn’t work for me; they’re my partner. We work together so that at the end of the day we‘re both successful.”
