Community Involvement

As strong as our dedication is to our clients, we are also committed to the communities in which we live and work. It is with great pride that support of community organizations and charitable events has become an integral part of the Commonwealth culture.

Commonwealth Engineers is proud to host our client appreciation golf outing each summer. Focused on giving back to the community, this annual event allows our clients to play for the local or national charity or organization of their choice. Over the years, we have donated thousands of dollars to worthy charities and foundations including:

The Commons of Commonwealth

The tradition of giving back to the communities in which we live and work is an integral part of Commonwealth. We try to take it a step beyond work, sponorship and monetary donations into a more personal level within the communities.

Lending a Hand

September 2009 David Hynes holds a pan as Tom Bodkin slides in some fried catfish from the deep fryer at Newburgh's 29th annual Fiddler Fest held on the banks of the Ohio River at the Old Lock and Dam Park. The festival is sponsored by Historic Newburgh with the money raised going towards the revitalization of the Warrick County Town.

Bike MS: City to Shore Ride 2009

Named by Bicycling Magazine as the "The Best Cycling Getaway in NJ", this event is to raise money on behalf of people living with MS (Multiple Scerloris). Cyclists come from all over the globe to participate in this 'Ride of a Lifetime'. There are several route options which starts at PATCO Woodcrest Station, in Hammonton where you travel through blueberry fields and pine barrens before winding your way to the ocean air in historic Ocean City. Brian Waterman, a Commonwealth Designer from our Ft. Wayne office, was one of the over 7,000 participants. Brian raised $560 of the $1790 that his team raised toward the target of $5 million for the 2009 event.

The Indianapolis Monumental Marathon was held November 7, 2009. The course highlights include a number of monuments, Lucas Oil Stadium, the Arts Garden, Massachusetts Avenue Cultural District, Butler University and many more. Some of our Commonwealth Employees and their families were there to help distribute water and 'snacks' to some of walkers/runners who participated in the race.
