Participants experienced a day filled with brilliant sights and
sounds as the rally included some spectacular vehicles including
Porsches, a Morgan, and the official Axalta Pace Car - a Jeep
Wrangler which led participants through the idyllic Pennsylvania
countryside with views of Amish country, the Susquehanna River, and
the privately-owned Runnymede Sanctuary. On the drive, participants
learned about fresh water ecology and watershed restoration
projects led by the Stroud Center.
“Clean, fresh water has an impact on our everyday lives in many
ways, from safe water to drink to agricultural use,” said Mike
Carr, Axalta President-North America. “That is why we are proud to
sponsor the Stroud Water Research Center. The work they do touches
our employees at our four Philadelphia-area locations, as well as
the many local communities that benefit from Stroud’s terrific
programs committed to sustainability.”
“The road rally was a wonderful way for us to showcase some of
the work that the Stroud Center has accomplished over the past 50
years,” said Dr. Bern Sweeney, President and Distinguished Senior
Research Scientist. “We are fortunate to have a corporate partner
such as Axalta that is committed to the environment and STEM
education, two tenets of our mission.”
