Our Purpose
In 2018, John Burns established the Giving Team to promote philanthropic initiatives that enhance communities through charitable contributions, partnerships, and volunteer work. Reflecting John Burns’ core values, the team has donated nearly $1 million to various organizations, primarily in Chicago. Each summer, John Burns hosts a fundraising event that has raised over $400,000 for partners. Additionally, our employee giving initiative allows team members to donate part of their earnings, contributing over $70,000 to local organizations since its inception.
