RPW, Inc. & Elite Finishing, LLC get the Threepeat!!

Since the TOP SHOPS AWARD started three years ago, RPW and Elite have been listed as two of the top 50 plating shops in the USA. More importantly they are the only two owned by the same family that have made it every year! None of the other winners have more than one shop included in the top 50, let alone have won it each year the award has existed. We want to thank our employees, suppliers and customers for making this award possible. We are really looking forward to “four for four” next year!

Reliable Plating Works, Inc. and Elite Finishing, LLC are so proud of their part in the Challenge Coin Challenge!

The Center for Suicide Awareness is trying to help save Veterans that are suffering with PTSD, many of which are choosing suicide as a way out of their pain. We are losing 22 veterans a day to suicide and the challenge coin is being used by other veterans, police and firemen to connect these troubled men and women to the help line. It has helped so many already and now over 20,000 are in circulation in WI alone.

We are glad to be part of several Police & Fire Departments that earned “CHALLENGE ACCEPTED” status by having their officers use these coins in the field to help veterans in crisis. The latest to join was the Greendale Police Department that was funded by our good friend Dave Coleman. Dave helped supply 50 coins to the Department and Chief Robert Malasuk was more than eager to take up the challenge.

RPW and Elite have been part of this program from its inception 2 years ago and loves that it is taking off and helping those that have stood tall in the face of danger to keep us safe and free back home. May God bless all of our soldiers and their families.

If you want to learn more about the “Challenge Coin Challenge” or would like to supply your local Police Department or Fire Department with coins please contact Barb Bigalke at barb@centerforsuicideawareness.org and she will help you out. We want to hear every police force and fire department saying “Challenge Accepted!”

St. Joseph Academy Golf Outing was a huge success again!

Thanks to the efforts of a great golf committee and the support of the Felician Sisters, we were able to raise over $45,000 for the school. This money will be going toward the music program, after school events, and computer equipment for the classrooms.

St. Joseph Academy helps under privileged families send their children to a Christian school that teaches not only Math, Science, History, and English…but also life skills. The children at SJA learn how to be confident, loving, generous and productive. Seeing them interact with the golfers at the event is awesome. It really shows why this school is a great place for your donation dollars, as it goes a long way and helps so many get out of a tough situation!

The Maliszewski Family, along with RPW and Elite, have been working with the sisters in this area for over 50 years. It is our most cherished charity and the one that we give most of our time and money to. Thanks to all of our suppliers and customers that helped in this event. Your time, money and support is not forgotten.
