Serving Others

Since its inception, The Check Foundation has donated over $100,000 to other non-profit and philanthropic organizations, and individuals in need.  Recently, The Check Foundation adjusted our goal to focus on making major contributions to significantly impact an organization, institution, or individual’s life.  We truly believe a large donation will make a difference instead of spreading the good will in smaller amounts to numerous organizations and individuals.

In addition to supporting other non-profit and philanthropic organizations, The Check Foundation has disbursed over $40,000 in financial assistance to various individuals since 2004.  Below are some stories about those we’ve assisted.

2005 Hurricane Season
After the devastation of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005, The Check Foundation disbursed over $30,000 in financial assistance to individuals in need.  The financial assistance helped persons and their families with basic necessities, deposits for temporary housing, prescriptions, and so on. 

Lightening Strikes Orlando Home
In 2008, a Towne Park Orlando employee’s home was struck by lightening starting a fire.  The cashier’s home was devastated.  The family of five was to be displaced for up to six months while their home was to be rebuilt.  The Check Foundation provided the family with financial assistance to help them with basic necessities, a mortgage payment, and their insurance deductible.  In addition to the financial assistance from the foundation, many Towne Park employees provided clothes, toys, and school supplies.

Fire Devastates Walnut Creek Apartment
An employee in Walnut Creek, CA found themselves in a similar situation as the Orlando employee later in 2008.  The guest service associate and his mother lost all of their belongings in an apartment fire. The American Red Cross provided temporary housing but they were in need of immediate funds for clothing, toiletries, etc. so The Check Foundation provided them with a donation to assist the employee and his mother.

Health Crisis Hits Nashville Employee
Early in 2009, a health crisis hit a Nashville employee leaving him unable to work.  The Check Foundation provided financial assistance to help the employee and his family pay some bills and for basic needs.
