Over the years Big C Lumber has been a quiet and humble provider of materials and guidance for numerous Schoolcraft community and school teams, projects, students and groups. There philanthropic efforts are to be honored as they have provided assistance for a number of years to our clubs and school district from our Robotics team to helping us with supplies to make games for our back to school night.
Dr. Dobbin said, “Big C has been amazingly helpful to the robotics team. With the donation
of materials, we have been able to build the field equipment for the competitions. This has
allowed our students to practice driving and delivering the game pieces prior to the
competition. We have also received much needed feedback from this to help determine if
modifications can be made to the robot before the day of the event to make the delivering of
the game pieces faster and more accurate. This has certainly helped in that this year we
started the competition season and had our best finish of 4th place.”
Does anyone know how long they have been a business? Since 1921.

I have to tell you as a customer I so appreciate the people that work at Big C.. Whenever I am in there getting supplies it seems I always see a big guy with a huge smile, saying in a deep voice, “How can I help Rusty?” It’s those types of interactions that Tom provides that honors the company’s and our community values.
Would you please join me in honoring Big C as a Soaring Eagle recipient.
