HELPFUL HANDS FOR LOCAL HIGH SCHOOLS!

Ace’s Helpful Hands Program is Providing Paint Makeovers to 50 High Schools Across the U.S

A new coat of paint can mean many things, but at a school it can be the difference between
inspiration and apathy. An engaging learning environment can stir creativity, motivate learning
and invigorate everyone who steps foot on campus. Such physical improvements sometimes
fall by the wayside, but with a helpful hand from the Helpful Hands Program, 50 high school
campuses across America are getting the fresh start they need.

Helpful Hands will be providing paint makeovers to one deserving high school in each of the
fifty states. From Alaska to Texas, high school students and community members around the
country will soon discover that a new coat of paint does more than add color to the wall – it
marks a new beginning, boosts spirits and establishes pride where it is needed the most.

FUNDING NOTE : The funding sponsor of this segment is Ace Hardware.
