Geiger (PPAI 105182, Platinum) – the No. 5 distributor in the PPAI 100 – has announced a new six-year pledge of $30,000 to the Promotional Products Education Foundation (PPEF).
The pledge to PPEF’s Tomorrow Fund allows companies and individuals to make multi-year commitments, ensuring sustained support for the foundation’s scholarship programs.
- Geiger’s commitment will provide $5,000 annually from 2024 to 2029 and follows the completion of a previous six-year pledge that concluded in 2023.
“We believe in the power of education to transform lives and build a brighter future for all,” says Jo-an Lantz, MAS, president and CEO of Geiger. “Our continued support of PPEF reflects our dedication to fostering the next generation of leaders, not just within the promotional products sector, but across all fields of study. We’re proud to contribute to a foundation that has such a profound impact on students and their families.”
Dedication To Education
Janet McMaster, MAS, regional vice president at Geiger and a PPEF board member, was instrumental in coordinating Geiger’s renewed pledge.
“This renewal of support demonstrates Geiger’s ongoing dedication to fostering education and growth across various disciplines,” says McMaster, who received the 2024 PPAI Woman of Achievement Award.
Established in 1989, PPEF has awarded more than $3.6 million in scholarships to 1,958 eligible students since its inception.
- These funds support students pursuing education in various fields, with a focus on those who have a parent working in the promotional products industry or who are themselves employed by a company in the sector.
