Enrich Our Community
Our mission: Enriching the community by supporting local charitable organizations
in the areas of health, education, and community development.
Our 2023 & 2024 Impact
In 2023, we chose three RIverbend area charities to support with our funds raised. These charities not only represent our mission, but honor what our family members were most passionate about. There's so much more to come, but we were proud to be able to support these organizations in our first year!
5A's Animal Shelter - Godfrey, IL
Pride, Inc. Riverbend Beautification - Godfrey, IL
Godfrey Women's Club - Godfrey, IL
In 2024, we were excited to begin an endowment that will create scholarships for students at Lewis & Clark Community College for years to come! Three students were awarded Beem Family Foundation Memorial scholarships in 2024. These students are pursuing degrees in Nursing, Environmental Science, and Business Management.
Future funds raised will continue to support this endowment.

The Beem Family Foundation is comprised of Sharilyn's grandchildren and spouses. Carrying on her memory is truly a family affair.
