PPL Corporation recently contributed $10,000 to The Children’s Center, Volunteers of America, to provide scholarships for local children. PPL’s gift, made through Pennsylvania’s Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) program, will enable 3- to 5-year olds from low income families to enroll in high-quality pre-kindergarten. “PPL is committed to being a good corporate citizen” said Carol Obando-Derstine, PPL Electric Utilities’ regional affairs director. “We also know that a quality early childhood education for our community’s children today will help them be prepared for high-quality jobs tomorrow.”
