PPG Milford employees support local
schools and organizations
Employees at PPG’s packaging coatings technology facility in Milford, Ohio helped to obtain $5,000 in grants through the PPG Industries Foundation for
local schools and organizations in 2009 and 2010, and the
foundation has donated $4,000 to The United Way of
Greater Cincinnati – Eastern Area in 2010.
Through a program called Public Education Leadership Community (PELC) grants, PPG employee
Cassandra Tembo requested two $1,000 foundation
grants in 2009 to support assembly presentations of
Carnegie Science Center of Pittsburgh’s “Ion Jones and
the Lost Castle of Chemistry” program at Butler
Technology and Career Development Schools and White
Oak Middle School.
Also in 2009 and 2010, three PPG Milford employees
obtained grants for eligible local organizations through
the foundation’s Grant Incentives for Volunteerism by
PPG Employees and Retirees (GIVE) program, which
recognizes employee and retiree volunteerism with
annual grants of $500 for an ongoing volunteer rela-
tionship or $1,000 for serving on an organization's
board of directors. Donald Bolling volunteered with
Freestore-Foodbank Inc. of Cincinnati last year, Angela
Martin volunteered with the Moeller High School
Boxing Team in Cincinnati in 2009 and served on the
board of A Kid Again in Cincinnati in 2010, and Robert
Janzen served on the board of the Milford Youth
Baseball Association last year.
