PPG Foundation Donates $10,000 to Boys and Girls Clubs of Delaware for Science, Math Programs

DOVER, Del.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The PPG Foundation recently donated $10,000 to the Boys & Girls Clubs of
Delaware to expand science, technology, engineering, art and math
education programs. The donation was made on behalf of PPG’s
architectural coatings site in Dover, Delaware, which includes a
manufacturing plant and distribution center.

“The Boys & Girls Clubs of Delaware is grateful for PPG’s commitment to
supporting our science, technology, engineering, art and math
programming,” said George Krupanski, president and CEO, Boys & Girls
Clubs of Delaware. “These hands-on learning opportunities will enhance
our members’ knowledge and skills related to math, arts and science,

whose mission is to inspire and enable all young people, especially
those who need the clubs most, to realize their full potential as

successful careers. The PPG Foundation grant will fund development of
engaging and enriching educational programs that introduce children to
technology and network skills, internet safety, robotics, electronics
and mechanical software.

difference in the lives of thousands of youth in our community, and
we’re happy that PPG and the PPG Foundation can help them expand and
build more science, technology, engineering, art and math programs to
engage young people’s interest in these fields,” said Neal Nicastro, PPG
