Alcoa Foundation Provides $30,000 for First Responder Training to City of Louisville

On Sunday, October 12, Louisville Mayor Jerry Abramson was presented with a $30,000 check by Alcoa's Flexible Packaging Louisville Laminating Plant Manager Carol Rod.  The $30,000 grant is part of the Alcoa First Responder Training Initiative, which began this summer and was granted to the Louisville Fire Department.  A larger grant was presented because three of the four Alcoa facilities in Louisville teamed together. Alcoa's Louisville Foil Plant has approximately 450 employees, and was able to submit $15,000.  Alcoa's Louisville Laminating and SGS were able to request another  $7,500 each, totaling $30,000  to provide First Responder Training to the citizens of Louisville Kentucky !

The check was presented at the Louisville Fire Department's 20th Annual “Great Louisville Fire Drill.'  There were various activities at the event, such as games and fire truck rides for the children, all the free chili and hot dogs you could eat, education about fire prevention, a live band, and a drawing where four lucky children won bicycles!  Every one had a great time as they learned more about fire prevention, and the Alcoa employees were honored to provide such a great group with such a generous donation!
