Charities
The founders and owners at TransCorr believe strongly in core
values. Family values. Community values. Business values. They have not
forgotten where they came from. They have successfully instilled that same
belief, in the members of Team TransCorr.
We believe in giving and giving back. That is why each year we continue to be
involved with several non-profit local, regional and national charities. Listed
below are a few of the causes that TransCorr chose to help
over the last calendar year. Agape Families
“Rebuilding God’s Broken Children”.
A non-profit organization that was founded in the greater Indianapolis area in
early 2006. They work to transform the troubled lives of abused and neglected
children by showing them unconditional love in a safe and nurturing home, using
the gifts and talents of the community.
Now in their third year of operation, they’ve given clothing bundles to over 800
needy foster children, provided full-time care for 17 children, including six
groups of siblings, and involved over 200 volunteers in the greater Indianapolis
area.
TransCorr has supported the Agape Families program since its
inception in early 2006.

This year TransCorr decided to support the 3rd grade classes
at Taft Elementary schools in Wyoming, Michigan. This particular school has a
very high poverty rate of greater than 93%. On December 19th the senior
management team, consisting of Santa and his five helpers, delivered Christmas
cheer to 53 needy children. Each child wrote their wish lists in advance and
received 2 or 3 different gifts that he or she had wished Santa would bring
them. And yes, Santa delivered each child exactly what they had wished for. Each
gift was specifically wrapped and name tagged for each child.
Needless to say, each and every child as well as the teaching staff were
overwhelmed and grateful. Everyone at Team TransCorr was blessed beyond measure
from this heartwarming experience. Let us all remember to live life with a
spirit of giving, not only during the holiday season but every day of the year. Parish of St. Pius X
Another cause supported by TransCorr for the last two years,
is the donation of gifts to the Parish of St. Pius X Christian Services in
Grandville, Michigan. Gifts were wrapped and delivered to 99 children from 29
families in the Grand Rapids community. Gifts were delivered anonymously in
keeping with the spirit of Christmas. Additional Local Charities:
For the last four years, TransCorr has proudly sponsored the
St. Jude/Brian Bush ‘Putt-For-Life’ Memorial Tournament. All proceeds from this
awesome fundraising tournament go to the kids of St. Jude. Since its inception,
Brian Bush Putt-For-Life has raised over $402,000.00! Special thanks to Brian’s
dad, Mike Bush for his diligent charity work and his great example of faith. For

And, over the past two years we have been a proud sponsor of the Relay-For-Life
Cancer Walk held locally here in Wyoming, Michigan.
TransCorr has also been a proud sponsor of the local
Georgetown Little League Baseball teams for both boys and girls. “Success in life has nothing
to do with what you gain in life or accomplish for yourself. It's what you do
