Equitable Resources To Sponsor UNITE PIKE Drug Summits
Through a $20,000 grant from the Equitable Resources Foundation, Inc., headquartered in Pittsburg, Penn., Equitable Production Company in Pike County will partner with UNITE to promote the drug education and prevention program throughout southern and eastern Kentucky.
Dates for the 2008 Youth Summits have not been determined.
³We are proud to partner with Equitable Resources,² said Karen Engle, president/CEO of Operation UNITE. As a leading corporate citizen in Eastern Kentucky, Equitable understands the importance of helping youth to make the right choices. That includes the decision to remain free from drugs.
The day-long summits provide workshops and motivational sessions designed to activate youth and their sponsors to become leaders in educating their classmates and communities about the dangers of drugs and to empower them to make drug-free choices in life.
In addition, participants are encouraged to become or remain involved with anti-drug UNITE Clubs in their schools.
During the 2007-08 school year, 6,891 students were registered members of
122 UNITE Clubs in 29 counties.
Equitable Production Company, a division of Pennsylvania-based Equitable Resources, develops, produces and sells natural gas and related products in the Appalachian region of the United States.
The Equitable Resources Foundation has a proud history of contributing to the communities where they do business, and a firm commitment to helping make a difference on critical issues facing our society. Special emphasis is placed on children and education initiatives.
