PPG completes a colorful makeover in Houston

PPG announced the completion of a Colorful Communities project in Houston, that provided a colorful makeover for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Houston.

More than 30 PPG employee volunteers spent the day painting hallways and rooms throughout the organization’s Spring Branch location, said the firm.

“The Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Houston is so grateful for the hard work that was put into this beautiful transformation,” said Kevin Hattery, president and CEO, Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Houston.

PPG provided more than 56 gallons of Glidden paint by PPG and Glidden Max-Flex spray paint by PPG for the project. The PPG Foundation also granted the Boys & Girls Club a monetary donation to further support the organization, said the company.

The Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Houston serves more than 35,000 youth ages 6-17 and strives to inspire and enable them to realize their full potential as productive, responsible and caring citizens.

“Through our global Colorful Communities program, PPG paint can make life-changing differences by protecting and beautifying special places in our lives, and this facility is one of those places,” said Scott Bartlett, PPG vice president, global operations, architectural coatings. “The goal was to create engaging spaces for students to learn and grow, and I’m confident this team accomplished that.”

The Colorful Communities program provides PPG volunteers and products along with financial contributions to charitable projects, bringing color and vitality to communities where the company operates around the world, such as Houston, where PPG has 24 stores.
