Reciprocity Road, an industry buying group that is celebrating its one-year anniversary this week at The PPAI Expo, made a $7,500 donation to the Promotional Products Education Foundation at its breakfast meeting this morning. Pat Dugan, MAS, PPEF chair and Sara Besly, PPEF Foundation manager, were on hand to accept the check.

The generous donation was supported through contributions from two supplier partners, Hit Promotional Products and SanMar. It will benefit PPEF’s mission of providing college scholarships to the children of industry practitioners.

This year, PPEF has pledged to provide $175,000 worth of scholarships—its largest pledge since the foundation was formed in 1989.

Reciprocity Road provides its members with a forum to exchange ideas, offer creative collaboration and provide support for mutual benefit, progress and business success.
