Chris Campbell (center), facility manager at PPG Industries’ industrial coatings manufacturing facility in Mount Vernon, Illinois, presents two PPG Industries Foundation checks to benefit students at New Hope Grade School. Teacher Ardis Barbre (left) received $1,000 to fund the Good Behavior program for kindergarten through fifth-grade students. Third-grade Teacher Charlotte Everett (right) received $500 to expand the foreign culture study program for 40 students including a trip to Roppongi Japanese Steak House and online access to live Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race broadcasts from Alaska.
“PPG is strongly committed to supporting the communities where it operates and the schools where its employees are involved,” Campbell said. “These programs make learning science, technology and social studies more hands-on and interesting. We are glad we can help with these programs and hope the students have fun while learning.”
The PPG Industries Foundation aims to create brighter, more colorful communities wherever PPG has a presence around the world. By investing in educational opportunities, we help grow today’s skilled workforce and develop tomorrow’s innovators in research and development, manufacturing, information technology and other careers related to science, technology, engineering and mathematics. With the support of our workforce, financial contributions and products furnished or funded by PPG, we help revitalize our communities. Plus, we empower PPG employees to make an impact for causes that are important to them by supporting their volunteer efforts and charitable giving. Learn more at www.ppgfoundation.com.
