Holcim (US) Inc. Portland Plant Makes Donation to Boys & Girls Club of Fremont County
FLORENCE, Colo. and WALTHAM, Mass., Sept. 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Holcim (US) Inc., one of the nation's leading manufacturers and suppliers of cement and mineral components, today announced that its Portland plant, located in Florence, Colorado, recently became a Founding Donor of the Boys & Girls Club of Fremont County. A donation in the amount of $5,000.00 was made to the Boys & Girls Club of Fremont County Founders Campaign.
"We determined early on that this was a great cause to support," said John Todd, plant manager of the Portland plant. "We don't have a Boys & Girls Club offering an after school program in the area and supporting a project which provides solid programs in a safe and positive environment for our youth is very rewarding."
Mr. Todd continued, "The club will provide a place where the children can have fun while learning new skills lead by a team of dedicated professional staff. We are pleased to have been able to make this donation and are looking forward to continuing our relationship with the Boys & Girls Club of Fremont County."
"We are pleased to accept this donation from Holcim," said Gail McDermott of the Boys & Girls Club of Fremont County. "It is a big step toward reaching our fundraising goals. Holcim has again shown that it is one of the corporate leaders in our community. We appreciate the enthusiasm and support and are honored to be among the beneficiaries of Holcim's generosity."
The Board of Directors of the Boys & Girls Club of Fremont County held its Kick-Off Campaign in August 2010. The group is currently looking at sites in Canon City as potential locations for the new facility which is planned to open in the spring of 2010.
