Community Involvement

Gerke Excavating Inc. likes to involve ourselves and give back to the community that has allowed us to grow as a business. We have supported many of the local youth organizations by making contributions to the development of their facilities with the donation of excavation for the baseball fields located by LaGrange Elementary School, as well as the excavation and site utilities for the indoor hockey rink at Recreation Park, and the excavation for the baseball courts at Winnebago Park. Each is used for the school and community programs. Additionally, we donated the excavation for the memorial at Tank Park. We also believe in the youth farm programs and believe in supporting their futures by investing in the livestock auctioned at the Monroe County Fair each year, and also supporting the Boys & Girls Club of Tomah by participating in the annual Chair Affair and by supporting their program financially.
