Wells Fargo’s Atlanta Region President Mike Donnelly will be honored by the PAGE Foundation at its 10th Annual “A PAGE Turning Event” this fall, according to PAGE Foundation President John Varner. This event recognizes business, philanthropy and government leaders for their exemplary support of public school improvement. Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company Vice President and General Manager Shan Cooper and Pendleton Consulting Group Partner Phil Jacobs will co-chair the host committee for this year’s event.

“We are proud to sponsor ‘A PAGE Turning Event’ and place the spotlight on corporations such as Wells Fargo and business leaders such as Atlanta Region President Mike Donnelly for their leadership in and commitment to public education improvement,” Varner says. “We hope other corporate, philanthropic and community leaders will join with Wells Fargo and Mike in support of initiatives that transform our public schools.” n

Chick-fil-A Foundation Donates $30,000

The Chick-fil-A Foundation donated $30,000 to the PAGE Foundation in June, according to John Varner, PAGE Foundation president.

“We are very grateful to the Chick-fil-A Foundation for this leadership gift to our foundation,” says Varner, who also notes that the goal of the Chick-fil-A Foundation is “to inspire and equip the next generation of leaders with opportunities to build a positive legacy,” which strongly aligns with those of the PAGE Foundation.

“The goal of our programs is to inspire students to have high standards of academic achievement through programs that provide individual and team challenges and encourage both a team and competitive spirit,” Varner adds. “Whether it is through the PAGE Academic Bowl for Middle Grades, PAGE STAR program or the work of our Board of Trustees, the Chick-fil-A Foundation and its employees have been supportive in our shared commitment to students and educators.”

Among members of the PAGE Foundation Board of Trustees is Chick-fil-A Vice President of Community Affairs and Executive Director of the Chick-fil-A Foundation Rodney Bullard, who is also a former PAGE Academic Bowl for Middle Grades student competitor. n
