To support the Muscular Dystrophy Association, Bill Hanna, Vice President and Executive Director, Closure Systems, agreed to be “arrested” for having a big heart in the MDA’s annual “Lock up” fundraising event.

PHUN, the volunteer team at Troy HQ focused on supporting charitable organizations, dedicated all PHUN cookouts in August to support MDA and its Lock Up event. PHUN ( People Helping the Underprivileged and Needy) used the proceeds from the cookouts along with other employee donations to create the “bail money” needed to free Bill at the September 14 Muscular Dystrophy Association Lock Up event.

Matamoros Employees Recognized by City Major
Inteva Matamoros employees were recognized by City Major, Eric Silva and his wife Marissa, for volunteering their time at Casa Hogar del niño Matamorense, a local center for homeless children.
The center, located about 10 minutes from Matamoros Plant 1, houses 24 boys and girls ranging from newborns to 13 years old who do not have secure family lives, or have lost their parents.
Through play time, meals, and bedtime stories these Inteva employees emulate a happy and healthy family life for these needy children. The group is most famous for celebrating birthdays with a traditional piñata and cake.
Each year Major, Eric Silva, honors companies that are dedicated to hard work and making a difference after business hours.

Caring For Our Coworkers – Troy Supports Alabama in Time of Need
Caring for the communities we live and work in is a core value at Inteva. When the state of Alabama suffered from a natural disaster, the care for communities extended to include our own colleagues. Inteva manufacturing plants in Cottondale and Gadsden received support and care from many Inteva facilities. Employees at Inteva World Headquarters & Technical Center were determined to provide employees in Alabama with assistance and comfort during this difficult time.
The teams at Troy came together to host morning bagel sales, a clothing and linen drive, and departmental lunch cookouts each week for one month; donating all funds to employees in Alabama.
Each Team had motivation to get creative with their cookouts to compete to raise the most money. These fundraisers provided the ability to reach out to Inteva employees and their families in Alabama while coming together to work as a team to raise as much money as possible.
