Hi Marcia,
Chevron recognizes that supporting education —particularly in the areas of science,
technology, engineering, and math (STEM) is essential to prepare students of today for
the jobs of tomorrow. Wherever we are, we strive to be a good neighbor, sharing the
concerns of our communities and working to create a better future. In partnership with
DonorsChoose, Chevron is committed to providing students with resources that
increase access to STEM and education opportunities.
DonorsChoose provides an easy way for the Chevron Doraville Terminal to support our
public-school students and teachers. Since 2021, Chevron invested almost $3.5MM and
funded nearly 4300 projects. Chevron would like to present Hightower Elementary
School with a total of $10,000 in DonorsChoose education gift codes that can be used
for monthly STEM experiments/projects.
Please let me know if you have any questions and thanks for your partnership.
Warm regards,
Amy Brandenstein
