Celebrating Our 8th Annual Founder’s Day

Since 2012, we have honored our origins by hosting a company-wide volunteer day. Founder's Day commemorates the day Gerry Rauenhorst signed the first contract for Rauenhorst Construction Co. Associates across the company volunteer with local affiliates of Rebuilding Together and Habitat for Humanity.

Volunteering with Rebuilding Together in Palatine, Ill., the group worked on a building unit that housed several children with disabilities. They painted, spackled, spread mulch, painted planters boxes and reorganized the furniture back into place. Had fun as we always do.
