CHARITIES
K-tech Kleening and the Kersemeier family have built and sustained a long history of local charitable giving and volunteerism. As a small business in Central Wisconsin, the K-tech management team committed early on in the company’s history to supporting local community organizations through donations and volunteer activity.
One of K-tech’s first major volunteer activities consisted of purchasing and collecting food items for local underserved families during the holidays. To date, the annual volunteer project has resulted in the collection and distribution of more than four tons of food to central Wisconsin families. The K-tech team also proudly supports projects dedicated to help fight and find a cure for breast cancer. K-tech helps manage the Pink Ribbon Open, an annual golf tournament where proceeds raised help area breast cancer survivors with expenses associated with their treatment. The company also participates in Cleaning for a Reason, a program that provides free home cleaning services to individuals undergoing breast cancer treatment.
In order to provide focused management for their commitment to social responsibility, K-tech established K-tech Charities in 2006. Since that time, the company has distributed $200,000 in financial aid and countless employee volunteer hours to local nonprofit organizations. The K-tech team prides itself in giving back to the community that has given it so much and is committed to maintaining its philanthropic ideals.

2012 Pink Ribbon Open
Since 2004, a group of Central Wisconsin Businesses and volunteers have worked together in hopes of making a difference in the lives of women in Central Wisconsin who have been diagnosed with breast cancer. Each year the group has put on a golf tournament to raise funds to assist women and their families with the expenses and hardships so often associated with fighting to defeat this deadly and debilitating disease.
The 2012 Pink Ribbon Open took place on Monday, June 11th at the Wausau Country Club. Many area businesses, local supporters amd volunteers, celebrity guests, and 12 cancer survivors participated in the event that raised money for K-tech Charities. Thank you to all that helped make this year's Pink Ribbon Open such a success!
To ensure that this wonderful cause continues to raise as much money as possible, Jeff Wickersham from Wickersham Jewelers has generously donated 500 Pink Ribbon pins. These pins are being sold by K-tech team members at the main office for $10, with all the proceeds going towards helping to find a cure for cancer. To get your pin, please contact a customer service representative at 715-355-1369.
