PITTSFIELD, Maine—Cianbro’s effort to help with disaster relief in the storm-wracked Gulf Coast region got a boost from area school children recently.
After Hurricane Katrina devastated the coastal regions of Mississippi, Louisiana, and Alabama in early September, Cianbro CEO Pete Vigue pledged that the company would match every dollar its employees donated to the American Red Cross in the aftermath.
Cianbro team members weren’t the only ones inspired to do something to help. At the same time, students and teachers at Pittsfield’s Vickery and Manson Park elementary schools were organizing their own fundraising efforts. When they learned of Vigue’s pledge, they asked if Cianbro would match their own contributions as well—a challenge the company happily took up. "
