PPG recently completed a COLORFUL COMMUNITIES project in Dallas, Texas, that helped to revitalize the Dallas Independent School District's Lorenzo De Zavala Elementary School. The Colorful Communities program provides PPG volunteers and paint products along with financial contributions to bring color and vitality to communities where the company operates around the world.
The project brought together more than 20 PPG volunteers, who spent the day revitalizing the school’s library and cafetorium. PPG provided 40 gallons of PPG PAINTS MANOR HALL interior paint.
“This gift will help us inspire our students,” said Melissa Gonzalez, principal at Lorenzo De Zavala Elementary School. “We cannot wait for our students to return to school and see the new beauty given to our building.”
Volunteers painted the facility’s library and cafetorium in a color palette of PPG Paints Lime Sorbet (PPG1225-4), Melon Pink (PPG1195-3) and Everglade Mist (PPG1150-3). These colors were chosen to create bright and colorful learning environments throughout the school.
“PPG is proud to support Lorenzo De Zavala Elementary School’s mission by creating a positive impact on the space where students can learn and grow,” said Okey Maduka, PPG sales manager, architectural coatings. “We know color plays a powerful role in revitalizing a space, and we hope the PPG Paints products will transform the way students feel about their surroundings.”
Notable Dallas community members joined the day’s activities, including Councilmember Omar Narvaez’s Assistant, Laura Cadena, who issued a special proclamation to commemorate the occasion, making July 26, 2018 “PPG Colorful Communities Day.”
PPG recently invested approximately $9 million to open 14 stores in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, bringing the total to nearly 40 PPG PAINTS stores in the region. PPG’s architectural coatings business employs nearly 900 people in Texas, and last month PPG announced plans for a new distribution center in Flower Mound, Texas. The new facility will be the largest distribution center for architectural paints and coatings in PPG’s U.S. and Canada network. Recently, PPG partnered with the Regional Hispanic Contractors Association to support the advancement and economic growth of Hispanic contractors in Texas.
