The committee organizes a variety of activities throughout the year promoting employee wellness, reinforcing the Wealth of Health mission statement. Lake Shore Cryotronics has received the 2012 Healthy Ohio Healthy Worksite Gold Award, and the Bronze Award in 2009, 2010, and 2011.
Lake Shore is a silver sponsor of the Westerville Parks Foundation B&W (bike and walk) and FitQuest programs, and we partner with Westerville Parks and Recreation for some of our programs. We sponsor a men's basketball team, men's and co-ed softball teams, and co-ed volleyball teams each year. Lake Shore also sponsors a team for the Making Strides breast cancer walk in October of each year.
Social responsibility
Lake Shore and its employees hold an annual Food Drive supporting the Westerville Area Resource Ministry (W.A.R.M). Each year, since 2006, our employees have exceeded the previous years' donations to W.A.R.M., which has enabled them to reach out even further into the community with a hand up.
Student Day at Lake Shore is an event opened to high school sophomore and junior AP Physics, Chemistry and Material Science students from local area high schools. This half day event at our facility exhibits the variety of technical, scientific and engineering jobs we employ and explains how our products are used in the science community. It is our hope that showcasing our facility, manufacturing environment and products, and explaining real-life science applications will create an interest for the students to seek a career in a technical field of study.
