BAME FOUNDATION
The Bame Foundation is the philanthropic arm of Ascentek. Founded in 2014 by Ascentek owners, Chris and Marna Bame, the Bame Foundation’s vision is to inspire servant leadership beyond generations. Because of the hard work of each person at Ascentek, the Bame Foundation is able to invest in the well-being of our communities. Additionally, it provides avenues for Ascentek employees to give back locally and globally.
With partnerships and investments in health, education, conservation, and everyday heroes, the Bame Foundation is committed to serving the communities in which we live and beyond. Stewarding the power of relationships and resources helps to make tomorrow a little bit better than today.
