Celebrating 25 Years as Clawson Architects— Official Date of Formation -February 2000!
As we reflect on all we've accomplished with the incredible support of our colleagues, clients, and community, we wanted to celebrate in a meaningful way. Instead of a grand party, we're giving back to the organizations that align with our values of Community, Education, and Family. We’re proud to support The Maplewood Foundation, Family Connections and The Achieve Foundation . We invite you to learn more about these amazing groups and, if you're able, join us in giving back to make a lasting impact!
The Maplewood Foundation is a new organization for us, but Maplewood itself has been our home for many years. Having moved around a lot growing up, this is the longest either of us has ever lived in one place. We’ve raised and educated three children here, and it’s also where we conceived and nurtured our fourth child—Clawson Architects—over the past 25 years. Maplewood is a unique community, and with the help of the Maplewood Foundation, it will continue to support and nurture what matters most—Community.
Family Connections has been close to our hearts since we first learned about their mission in 2008. Over the years, we’ve been proud to assist with design solutions for their spaces and provide financial contributions whenever we can.
We’re thrilled to have recently sponsored the Generation Remix event for the Family Connections clients! It was a day filled with hope and inspiration, as participants worked together to set their goals for 2025 and bring them to life through vision boards. To help remove any financial barriers to getting started, we were excited to gift each participant a $50 gift card. It was incredible to witness the aspirations, dreams, and gratitude shared within this amazing community. Take a look at the event and see how these bright individuals are setting their sights on a future full of possibility! link
Thank you gift from Family Connections.
And Achieve Foundation — Education is so important. Helping to support the teachers and programs that are underfunded, The Achieve Foundations works to fill in at all the schools in our community. Join us by buying a ticket to what is certain to be an amazing night of fun on March 7th.
As we look ahead, we’re filled with gratitude for the incredible journey we’ve shared with all of you—our partners, clients, and the wider community. Together, we've achieved so much, and we are excited for the future. We remain deeply committed to creating spaces that inspire, and uplift. With the ongoing support of these amazing organizations and our dedicated community, we look forward to building an even brighter tomorrow, one step at a time.
Here’s to continued growth, collaboration, and a future full of opportunity for all.
Best,
Marvin and Rene
