“All of us are indebted to the educators in this country for their fearless and vital work – especially over the past couple of unprecedented years. We were so moved by the incredible requests for support we received from teachers and administrators across Georgia, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania, and now we ask the public to help us identify opportunities to make donations,” said Mark Rayfield, Chief Executive Officer of Saint-Gobain North America and CertainTeed. “The Sustaining Futures, Raising Communities program allows us the chance to make a true impact in educational spaces, inspiring innovation, creativity and learning in buildings that are well equipped, comfortable and sustainable environments.”
