Alvarez & Marsal joined us for a Green Teams clean-up on August 24th at Skinner Park.

The Alvarez & Marsal team found their way to the Chicago Parks Foundation by word of mouth, seeking local opportunities for giving back to the community. They chose local Skinner Park because it is near their West Loop office!

A&M is a global professional services firm with over 6,000 employees across 5 continents. Known for their expertise in turnaround management, restructuring, performance improvement, private equity services, and valuation, A&M serves clients in nearly all industries.

Why is volunteering for the parks important to your organization?

We recognize the value of the Parks Foundation in building up communities, and we believe in doing our part to protect and conserve the environment.

How does your organization’s mission relate to the work you’re doing with CPF?

A&M's founding principles are leadership, action, results; the on-the-ground work in the community that CPF does and how A&M contributes are directly correlated with demonstrating leadership to recognize the significance of CPF, taking action to support CPF, and yielding results in the form of cleaner, more beautiful parks.
