Saint-Gobain

Malvern’s Saint-Gobain, one of the world’s largest building materials companies and manufacturer of innovative material solutions, recently donated two playhouses built by the children of its employees to local veteran families. The playhouses were constructed earlier this year during “Bring Your Child to Work Day.”

The Williams (Marines) and Williamson (Army) families visited Saint-Gobain for this special presentation. Coincidentally, both families were expecting their third child within days of the presentation. Remarks were given by Carmen Ferrigno, Vice President of Communications and Executive Director of the Saint-Gobain Corporation Foundation, and Rickey Morrison, Director of Pricing for CertainTeed Roofing and a founding member of the Saint-Gobain Veteran Employee Resource Group (VERG).

Members of VERG put finishing touches on the playhouses and conducted a safety inspection prior to the presentation. Two additional playhouses built during the “Bring Your Child to Work Day” will be donated to local military families later this year.
