For four young men in Chatham, this was not the summer they had planned.
Returning home early from their colleges and universities due to COVID-19, and with summer internships and jobs on hold or uncertain, Owen Calvert, Justin Hayes, Gianmarco Mignogni and Brenden Steigerwald hatched a plan. Together, they decided to form a landscaping business with 10% of all proceeds benefiting the Chatham Emergency Squad.
“We grew up in Chatham, have been friends since 8th Grade, and knew we had to do something to help the members of the Emergency Squad who were taking so much risk for themselves while helping others,” said Owen Calvert, a senior at the College of Charleston. “So, we pooled together our equipment resources and got to work.”
