We take great pride in our company - not only in the success of our systems
and that of our clients, but also in our drive to help others and to help
inspire a community of giving and caring. Our consultants and our company
support various organizations, some of which are shown below. We try to use our
time and talents to help make a difference where we can. We encourage you to
share our passion and support these and other charities.
Together we do make a difference.
Naperville United Way - One of the very first 'Animals
on Parade' charity events in the country, Naperville's Carousel Horse auction
led the way and raised over $70,000 for the United Way. Foresight met with
volunteers and United Way leaders to design, develop and host the database, the
website and online gallery that supported the Carousel Horse auction. The site
was used for the months leading up to the auction to advertise the horses, art
and other items up for bid, and also used live at the auction. It also set the
standard for future fundraiser auctions sponsored annually by the United Way.
Geneseo
Marriage and Family Counseling Services was founded in 1974 to provide
affordable, professional counseling to anyone in need. The agency's main focus
is to provide quality counseling to individuals, couples and families for
multiple issues that may be affecting their lives and to see what may be done to
resolve them. The service is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors. The
agency receives financial support from the Geneseo Community Chest, grants from
local institutions and churches, the Henry County 708 Board and client fees.
Faces of Fatherhood / Team Dad is committed to helping women and men interested in making a difference in the lives of children. Foresight helped develop the website for this organization. We worked side by side with them to support their Celebrity Charity Raffle of an autographed Harley Davidson motorcycle. This was an exciting project, because in addition to helping them promote and support the event, we also helped haul the Harley around and gather autographs on the bike, including that of then President Bill Clinton. We were also responsible for posting and advertising their annual calendar and other products they offer for sale to help men become better fathers and to promote the role of good father figures in our families.
Advocates for Seniors is an organization that is very dear to us because they help to improve the quality of care for seniors who can no longer care for themselves. Too often our loved ones in their golden years receive less than adequate care. Foresight is proud to be involved with this organization. We developed, host and support their website. They annually issue grants to organizations and individuals who have shown a commitment to educate the community and care givers, increase awareness, and improve the quality of care for the elderly. It is our small way of giving back to those who have given so much of themselves.
Foresight is also committed to Internet Safety Awareness. Our children are our most valuable asset. We have helped communities educate parents on the dangers the Internet can pose to their children, specifically with Internet crimes and predators. Equally important though, we emphasize the responsibility of parents to educate their families and enforce safe use of the Internet. We discuss how crucial it is to set up Internet safety guidelines with their children. This helps to make our youth aware of what is acceptable and what is not when they are using the Internet at home and when they are at a friend's house. We talk about setting up home computers with filtering software and parental controls. Please read the Illinois Attorney General's Online Safety Tips to learn more. We wouldn't send our kids to play in a neighborhood that we don't know anything about, and we must take it upon ourselves to use the same precautions in cyberspace.
