150+ employees, athletes and students to paint murals, plant and
build picnic tables
DULUTH, Ga.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep. 29, 2015--
NCR
Corporation (NYSE: NCR), the global leader in consumer transaction
technologies, is excited to partner today with hometown customer, the
Atlanta Falcons and future neighbor, Georgia Institute of Technology, to
bring curb appeal and make improvements to the Salvation Army Bellwood
Boys & Girls Club near the future home of the Atlanta Falcons and new
Atlanta United soccer team, Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
Inside, the club has first-class facilities such as a gym, classrooms,
pool, kitchen, game rooms and more. But outside, with its plain beige
façade, it could be mistaken for a warehouse. Atlanta Falcons players
Paul Worrilow, Desmond Trufant, William Moore, Devonta Freeman and staff
will work alongside more than 150 NCR employees and Tech students to
change that by painting murals inspired by the children’s own artwork,
planting and building picnic tables.
Additionally, the volunteers will play games with the children who
attend the Boys and Girls Club after school.
"We are so grateful for the opportunity to partner with NCR and the
Falcons in this beautification project of The Salvation Army Boys &
Girls Clubs of Greater Atlanta - Bellwood Club,” says Leisa Smith,
Executive Director, Salvation Army, Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater
Atlanta. “The time and dedication given means a lot to the community and
the children of Vine City and English Avenue area."
“NCR is continuing its proud, 131-year history of philanthropy in the
communities where we live and work,” added Yvonne N. Whitaker, NCR
Foundation administrator. “NCR Foundation is a proud sponsor and partner
with the Boys and Girls Clubs of Metro Atlanta. I’m excited our
employees have the opportunity to directly support the Bellwood Club,
deepening our partnership and our impact in Atlanta neighborhoods.”
