Crawford Cares

Crawford Cares is a program through Crawford Company that allows us to give back to the community and foster a collaborative environment between for profit and nonprofit companies in the greater Dubuque area. Crawford Cares is committed to making a positive impact in the local community by honoring entities that serve the greater Dubuque population. Recipients will receive personalized awards, recognition and charitable donations.

AGAIN THIS YEAR! Every nonprofit that participates in Crawford Cares (win or not), will be entered to win more money through the Crawford North and Dubuque Fighting Saints Penalty Kill sponsorship. Crawford North is proud to be the official Penalty Kill sponsor for the 2022-2023 Dubuque Fighting Saints hockey season. Crawford will donate $20 to a local nonprofit each time the Fighting Saints are successful on the Penalty Kill. The lucky nonprofit can win up to $2,500 at the end of the hockey season. The winning nonprofit will be selected by the players of the Dubuque Fighting Saints hockey team. Last year's winner was the Dubuque Regional Humane Society.
