"We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give."
- Winston Churchill

The Chlupp & Hall Group strongly believes in ongoing charitable efforts and involvement in the West Bend Community.
Some of our current efforts to create stronger ties to the West Bend Community include:

West Bend Rotary
Chris joined the West Bend Noon Rotary organization in 2001 and served in various leadership positions until being asked to serve as President in 2009. Chris was honored by his invitation to join rotary from a business mentor and has always made the most of his involvement. On the last day of his presidency his club presented him with a Paul Harris Award, which is the highest honor that a Rotary Club can give.

Enchantment in the Park
As President-Elect for the West Bend Noon Rotary Club, Chris was actively involved in the creation of the spectacular holiday light display. Chris served as a steering committee member charged with fundraising and is now a board member involved with the Design Committee. Enchantment in the Park has been Chris’s opportunity to give back to a community that has been so good to his family. In the first 5 years of operation over 150,000 food items have been collected for all of the food pantries of Washington County and approximately 200,000 visitors have been able to enjoy this holiday experience.

West Bend Community Foundation
The West Bend Community Foundation is one of the largest “Community Foundations” in the United States. Chris grew up across the street from a very successful businessman that had a huge desire to give back to his community. That neighbor and another very well-known businessman in West Bend co-founded this Foundation in 1999. This foundation allows people with charitable intentions to control where their contributions are made while they are alive and then allow our highly regarded members of our board to direct their community donation funds after they have passed away. Chris was delighted to be asked to serve on this board in 2009. Soon after joining the board, Chris became the chair of the Development Committee and in 2013 he was asked to become Vice President of the organization.

Economic Development of Washington County
Economic Development has always been a passion of Chris’s. Chris was asked to be a Board Member of the EDWC in 2010. We owe much of the quality of life we have in this community to those entrepreneurs who took a chance to start a business and grow the local employment base. The primary mission of the EDWC is to help companies in Washington County to grow and thrive and continue to add to the local employment base.

West Bend Gridiron Club & Community Sports
Brandon’s passion for sports, specifically football, has led him to serve as a West Bend Youth Football Coach and Board Member and Secretary of the West Bend Gridiron Club. In 2012 the West Bend Gridiron Club was instrumental in fundraising close to $500,000 for a new artificial turf field for the West Bend School District. In that same year, Brandon was inducted into the West Bend West Wall of Fame for his high school achievements in football, track and field, basketball and baseball.

Charitable Donations
As a team, The Chlupp & Hall Group has made donations to Enchantment in the Park, West Bend Gridiron Club, MACC Fund, Make-a-Wish Foundation, Lone Survivor Foundation, and Washington County United Way.
