ENCINO ENERGY, VENDORS DONATE: Encino Energy and its vendors made major donations stemming from the company’s Vendor Charity Classic.
This year’s gathering was expanded into a two-day event consisting of a clay shoot, golf outing and welcome reception. With 33 sponsors, Encino and its vendors raised $80,000, which was split evenly between four charitable causes. Among them were the Mahoning Valley Manufacturers Coalition, which provides a network for Mahoning Valley manufacturers to identify common needs and problem-solve with their partners, and share ideas and resources to develop a skilled workforce. The new partnership formed between Encino and MVMC is driven by a need to meet the demand of a skilled workforce within the oil and natural gas industry.
Other groups given money were Foundation for Appalachian Ohio, a regional community foundation serving Appalachian Ohio’s 32 counties that creates opportunities for the people and communities of Appalachian Ohio by inspiring and supporting philanthropy; and the Brightside Project, an organization that works to positively impact the children of Columbiana County and surrounding communities who are battling hunger, poverty, drug abuse, neglect and other emotional and mental health issues.
