Leading HVAC solutions provider lends a
helping hand by providing supplies to schools in Virginia, Michigan, Rhode
Island and Wisconsin
RACINE,
Wis., Sept. 13, 2023 /PRNewswire/ --
Modine (NYSE: MOD), a technology and indoor air quality leader
in the HVAC industry, provided students with more than just clean
air during back-to-school season. The company donated more than 600
backpacks containing important school supplies to students in
Virginia, Michigan, Rhode
Island and Wisconsin to
lend a helping hand and reduce the financial impact on families and
schools.
"We wanted to show the community that we care for our children
inside and outside the classroom," said Kimberly Raduenz, Manager, Strategic Marketing
for the IAQ division at Modine. "While our core purpose is
engineering a cleaner and healthier world, we recognize that many
students need more than just excellent indoor air quality at
school. We wanted to help children start the school year off on a
positive note."
In Virginia, Modine
representatives visited F.W. Kling Elementary and Enderly
Elementary, both part of the Buena Vista School District. In
Michigan, Modine and their local
Michigan representative, Bolhouse,
provided supplies to Jenison
Public Schools.
Modine donated backpacks to Webster Avenue Elementary in
Providence, Rhode Island, at an
event that included Antojitos Emanuel, a local food truck.
"Back to school shopping can be difficult and overwhelming for
some students," said Maria E.
Acevedo, family ambassador at Webster Ave Elementary School.
"Modine eased that concern with their generous donation of school
supplies, backpacks and water bottles, embodying community
commitment at its best. Not only did families receive school
supplies, everyone in attendance at our back-to-school celebration
enjoyed hot, fresh food. We're very thankful for this partnership
and look forward to it for many years to come."
In Racine, Wisconsin, where
Modine is headquartered, the company donated backpacks, water
bottles, and school supplies through three Community-Oriented
Policing (COP) houses. These physical homes, strategically placed
within residential neighborhoods, are staffed by law enforcement
professionals and other service providers and open to the public to
help strengthen relationships and facilitate building stronger
communities.
"At Modine, we believe it's our responsibility to give back to
our communities," Raduenz said. "Whether it's providing a backpack
full of school supplies or installing a unit ventilator, we want
schools to look at us as a partner in creating a safe and healthy
learning environment through both our products and our
actions."
