Riverside Elementary

“A major part of Welbro’s philosophy is building relationships, not only with our clients and industry partners, but also with the communities where we work and live. As a local, employee-owned business, this is especially important and part of the company culture. One of our main markets is education, where our company builds schools. When the opportunity arose to partner with Riverside Elementary, a local school that was also built by Welbro, we were delighted to help. Besides the obvious benefit to the community, giving back builds camaraderie and stirs a competitive spirit and sense of gratitude within the workplace.”

Orange County Virtual School

“I partnered with Orange County Vitrual School because I believe it is important to support the students, staff and school. I know first-hand how hard it can be to keep students engaged and motivated, so helping the teachers by encouraging their students is a no-brainer. However, we also must motivate our teachers and staff. I am glad that I can assist by providing incentives for the school’s hard-working students and staff.”
