A Closer Look at TLP Corporate Citizenship

At TLP, we believe that taking care of our customers also includes taking care of the communities in which they live. We’re closely connected and committed to these communities in which we do business. TLP is very intentional about having a positive influence in the lives of people throughout our community.

From a wide variety of community involvement and charitable initiatives to a comprehensive sustainability program, we’re determined to keep touching the lives of people in every way possible.

TLP - Touching the Lives of People

Touching the Lives of People (TLP) – What started in 2007 as the team name for a cancer-research run has expanded into a company-wide program to coordinate all our “in-kind” giving and volunteerism. Employees share the types of opportunities and charities that are important to them. From day of service events to team building at charity walks, TLP takes a hands-on approach to helping. Together, we ask and answer the question: “When, where and how can we help?”

Key Community & Charitable Efforts

American Heart Association – What began as a team fundraising effort for the Milwaukee Heart Walk has transformed into a year-long focus on heart health for our employees and their families and friends including CPR Awareness Training, Blood Pressure Challenges and the Annual Heart Walk Fundraiser.
