This week, the team at Hilco Merchant Resources visited Feed My Starving Children in Illinois for a food packing session to help combat worldwide hunger. They helped pack over 15,000 meals for children all around the world!

Hilco Global Women’s Business Group, along with Noble Street College Prep, is proud to be supporting Rock the Street Wall Street, the highly regarded financial and investment literacy program designed to spark the interest of a diverse population of high school girls in careers in finance. By learning about savings and investment, budgeting, the capital markets, and their role in maintaining the welfare of their families and the economy, participants get to see and better understand the real-world application of the math content they learn in the classroom. RTSWS sparks girls’ interest at a critical juncture in their lives, pre-college planning, and expands their perceptions of what a person who works in finance looks like beyond the traditional stereotypes. RTSWS provided tailored curriculum and materials, and volunteers from across all of Hilco are doing a fantastic job by serving as classroom instructors! This is a cause and program that we couldn’t be more thrilled to be a part of. It’s incredible to see just how talented these young women are!

On August 17, 2022 Hilco IP Merchant Banking volunteered their time and effort to help The Rideau Valley Conservation Authority with their City Stream Watch Program. The City Stream Watch is a program that the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority has been involved with since 2003 and is dependent on volunteers. Hilco team members contacted the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority to volunteer their time and effort to assist with the program. The team was assigned The Jock River Landing Park for cleanup. The group worked both in the park and in the stream to cleanup garbage and debris to enhance this beautiful area for the enjoyment and safety of everyone that uses the park.

This July, Hilco Merchant Resources, Hilco Valuation Services, and Hilco Diligence Services coordinated to donate $10,000 to support Keith Vercauteren and the Wells Fargo Commercial Capital Team in the 2022 Corporate Cup. Fundraising for this yearly event supports the Boston Children's Hospital Trust, helping provide the care and fuel the research that saves kids’ lives. The Corporate Cup is a field day themed fundraiser, where corporate teams battle for points and glory in nostalgic games like Pick-A-Puck, Football Toss, the Obstacle Course, and Tug-of-War. Congratulations to the Wells Fargo team that came in first place in the Corporate Cup competition this year! Wells Fargo was one of the top fundraising teams and Keith one of the top individual fundraisers!

Hilco Helps is proud to congratulate 2020 Hilco Scholars scholarship recipient Carla Prado on her recent accomplishment, earning her Associates degree in Applied Science with honors! Carla was granted her scholarship to the City Colleges of Chicago through the program spearheaded by Hilco Redevelopment Partners, which selects aspiring students from Chicago’s Little Village neighborhood each year. Having accomplished this personal goal of hers, she is looking to put her new skills to practice in either an internship or a job in her field of study. Her next goal is to go for a bachelor’s degree soon. We’re excited to see her continue to work hard and accomplish her goals. We can’t wait to hear about her future successes!

This past holiday season, Hilco Capital volunteered at "Spread a Smile" to help pack toys, games, and books into gift baskets for all the brave children that will be spending the upcoming holidays from the hospital.

We are humbled to share the news that the team at Hilco Redevelopment Partners (a Hilco Global Company) has distributed 3,850 turkeys to communities in Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston, Alexandria, and Richmond. Hardworking Hilco Helpers across the country volunteered to deliver approximately 38,000 pounds of turkey to those less fortunate. By learning about savings and investment, budgeting, the capital markets, and their role in maintaining the welfare of their families and the economy, participants get to see and better understand the real-world application of the math content they learn in the classroom.
