Masco Runs for Heroes

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

Masco is proud to support Hire Heroes USA, which provides free job search assistance to thousands of U.S. military members, veterans and their spouses. As the presenting sponsor of the Run for Heroes Virtual 5K last month, Masco assembled a team of over 100 employees from our family of companies to participate and help raise both funding and awareness for Hire Heroes’ work on behalf of veterans. The team of runners raised more than $16,000 for the cause.

Ronald Strobel, Manager, West Region, at Masco Support Services was one of the runners who participated on the Masco team. Ronald is a veteran of the U.S. Army who was proud to carry on his family legacy of serving his country: with a father who served in the Airforce, a son who served in the Army, a brother who served in the Navy, and a nephew who is currently serving in the Navy, Ronald’s family knows the sacrifices made to protect our country.

Says Ronald, “I was very honored to participate in the Virtual 5K Run for Heroes on behalf of those who have served and are currently serving this great country. We should absolutely support heroes and their families who have voluntarily signed up to defend the freedoms we all enjoy.”

Thanks to all the employees who ran, fundraised, or donated!

In October, Masco hosted students from Detroit-based Central High School for a day to learn about some unique careers as part of our nonprofit partner Life Remodeled’s “Career Visioning Field Trips.” First touring our Flight Operations office, the students saw the airplane hangar and heard about the variety of job paths available in aviation. Then, at Masco Research & Development, they met with our scientists who explained how they test our products for safety and durability by using their expertise in chemistry, metallurgy, microbiology and more.
