In this issue of “The Good Stuff,” Emerson employees and supporters raised nearly $40,000 for the American Cancer Society.
ROSEMONT, IL, JUNE 10, 2026 — For the 15th consecutive year, the Chicago Electrical Industry (CEI) has mobilized in the fight against cancer and in 2026, Team Emerson delivered its most powerful performance yet. Fifty-one Emerson employees and supporters laced up, clipped in, and hit the course at the American Cancer Society (ACS) Walk & Roll Chicago, raising $39,014 and counting with donations and matching gifts accepted through the end of July 2026.
The momentum was supercharged by a landmark $25,000 contribution from Lapham-Hickey Steel, a longtime Emerson vendor and valued partner. The Hickey family, integral to Lapham-Hickey’s legacy, directed this transformational gift to ACS in conjunction with CEI, a testament to the deep-rooted culture of generosity that defines this community.
Emerson’s commitment extends beyond the finish line: the Emerson Charitable Trust contributed an additional $10,000 to ACS, bolstering the CEI group fundraising total and reinforcing the company’s institutional dedication to the cause.
Since joining the ACS Walk & Roll in 2012, its second year of CEI participation, Team Emerson has raised a cumulative $142,952.61 for the American Cancer Society. In 2026, CEI is on track to surpass $140,000 raised, a collective milestone that reflects what’s possible when industry comes together with purpose.
Walk. Bike. Run. All of the Above.
Team Emerson participants took on the full spectrum of ACS Walk & Roll events in 2026 — walking, biking, and running — channeling every stride and pedal revolution into research, patient services, and the relentless pursuit of a cancer-free world.
There is still time to make an impact. Donations and matching gifts on behalf of Team Emerson are accepted through July 31, 2026. Support the mission at www.WalkRollChicago.org.
