OLYMPIC Paints by PPG Honors Local Charity for Deployed Military and Veterans

Operation Troop Appreciation receives $25,000 gift to help fulfill
‘wish-list needs’

PITTSBURGH–(BUSINESS WIRE)–OLYMPIC®
Paints
, a brand of PPG Architectural Coatings, presented Operation
Troop Appreciation
with a $25,000 gift this holiday season.
Operation Troop Appreciation is a Pittsburgh-based nonprofit
organization that provides services and supplies to military service
members and veterans.

Olympic Paints raised the donation dollars through the sale of Olympic
ONE® interior paint. In November, the paint brand launched a
Veteran’s Day campaign in which $1 for every gallon sold would be
donated to a veteran’s charity.

“This gift will make a tremendous difference to our troops overseas and
veterans who have returned home,” said Monica A. Orluk, president and
chief operating officer, Operation Troop Appreciation. “We are grateful
to have the support of Olympic Paints, which through this
donation has helped us to provide much needed supplies and holiday gifts
for military service members and veteran communities.”

A volunteer-based organization, Operation Troop Appreciation works to
provide active and veteran members of the Armed Forces with items that
contribute to their morale and well-being. The group organizes dozens of
projects each year to send wish-list items to military units, such as
clothing, sports equipment, music equipment, entertainment devices,
tools, exercise gear and more. For every dollar donated to Operation
Troop Appreciation, 98.5 cents go directly to deployed military or
veterans.

Olympic Paints is thrilled to support Operation Troop
Appreciation and the organization’s honorable mission of supporting our
troops and veterans,” said Lia Gancas, senior brand manager, Olympic
Paints and Stains. “This nonprofit is located right in our backyard and
has supported hundreds of thousands of military service men and women in
just 10 years of operation. It is a very deserving group to show our
thanks and support.”
