Crafton Tull, an engineering, surveying and architecture firm based in Rogers, continues to celebrate its 50th anniversary this year with its 50/50 program. Aimed at giving back to the communities in which it operates through 50 acts of kindness, 50/50 covers a wide array of charitable deeds by Crafton Tull executives and staff.
The 23rd act out of the 50 — the delivery of coloring books and crayons to local hospitals — was the latest to occur. Scheduled to end by Nov. 20, a marquee event planned for September is the planting of trees for the Illinois River Watershed Partnership.
Matt Crafton, president and CEO at Crafton Tull, said staff has embraced the 50/50 program.
“It speaks to our culture and it fits with who we are and what our history is,” said Crafton. “We were brainstorming about what to do for our 50th anniversary. A person on staff had the idea and we all jumped on it. Our staff has been very enthusiastic.”
Past projects include painting at the Boys and Girls Club of Benton County, pro-bono architectural services for the historic West Pointe Christian Church in Yukon, Okla., tornado relief in Moore, Okla., beautification at the entrance to the Veteran’s National Cemetery in Little Rock, and planting of flowers at Circle of Life Hospice in Springdale.
Crafton Tull was co-founded in 1963 be Lem Tull and Bob Crafton.
