Buddies on the Green

Driving Change, One Golf Classic at a Time

At CraneWerks, we believe supporting our communities means showing up—on and off the clock. Through our CraneWerks Cares program, we’re proud to stand behind causes that matter, offering meaningful support to over 30 organizations close to our hearts. One of those organizations is Buddies Helping Buddies, a nonprofit doing powerful work to help individuals and families impacted by addiction and suicide risk, now through their Buddies On the Green Golf Classic. Their mission is rooted in compassion, healing, and hope—and we’re honored to help amplify it.

Why We Show Up for Buddies On the Green

CraneWerks supported Buddies Helping Buddies earlier this year at their Strikes for a Cause bowling event—a night that was more than fun and fundraising. It was a powerful reminder that community support is a lifeline, and small actions (like showing up, donating, or simply listening) can create massive ripple effects.
