SIOR Chicago Supports Trunk Scholarship Program for 12th Year

The Chicago Chapter of the Society of Industrial & Office Realtors (SIOR) said its members donated a total of $13,500 to make 27 Trunk Scholarships possible as part of the Ada S. McKinley College-Bound Trunk Scholarship program in 2022. The scholarships are provided to students typically from the West and South sides of Chicago; each scholarship winner is selected based on an essay contest and a demonstration of financial need.

2022 marks the 12th year of SIOR Chicago’s support of this charitable initiative. Each trunk is valued at $500 and includes living and learning essentials college-bound honorees need to begin their journey including new laptops, earbuds, backpacks, dorm room essentials and school supplies.

The following members and companies donated trunks toward this effort in 2022: Akrete Communications; Arco Murray; Bridge Development; CenterPoint Properties; Conor Commercial; CRG Integrated Real Estate Solutions; Dermody Properties; Entre Commercial Realty; Hillwood; Harris Architects; IDI Logistics; Krusinski Construction; Meridian Design Build; ML Realty Partners; Newmark; TMG; Venture One Real Estate; Sam Badger; Donald & Cecile Schoenheider; Elise Couston; Adam Marshall; John Picchiotti; Jeanne Rogers; Joyce Slone; as well as a donation from the SIOR Chicago Chapter itself.
