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 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, ultimately increasing their educational, career and professional opportunities in engineering- and technology-related fields.”
