Giving Back Together

At M. Carlson Painting & Wallcovering, our team is the heart of everything we do, and so are the causes they care about. Every year, each of our employees chooses a charity close to their heart, and we make a donation in their name. It’s our way of thanking our crew and supporting the communities we live and work in.

This year, our team chose to support:

  • Children’s Hospital

    Raises funds to support our promise to every child: that they will have access to the best physicians, treatments and family support, regardless of their financial circumstances.

  • MN LEMA, Minnesota Law Enforcement Memorial Association

    Assists families and agencies of fallen officers at the time of death and in the years afterward, ensuring survivors know their loved one is “never forgotten.”

  • O.U.R., Operation Underground Railroad

    Has made a significant impact in the fight to end sex trafficking and sexual exploitation by rescuing and supporting thousands of survivors in 30 countries and 50 U.S. states.

  • Oceana

    A nonprofit dedicated to protecting and restoring the world’s oceans, with a focus on preserving marine wildlife and promoting sustainable fishing practices.

  • Crescent Cove

  • ALS Association

    Leading the fight against ALS by investing millions in groundbreaking research, ensuring access to quality care and disease education, advocating for policy change, and raising awareness through community events.

  • St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital

    The mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is to advance cures, and means of prevention, for pediatric catastrophic diseases through research and treatment. Consistent with the vision of our founder Danny Thomas, no child is denied treatment based on race, religion, or a family’s ability to pay.

  • Ovarian Cancer Research Alliance

    OCRA is the oldest and largest ovarian cancer charity in the world. It is near and dear to Kelly’s family, as her mother passed away from ovarian cancer in 2018.
