Masco In The Community

Masco Rocks! Summer BBQ Series

Community Development

Throughout summer 2019, Masco HQ fired up the grill to raise over $3,000 for charity! Each Friday, 1-2 employees volunteered to be a guest griller and aproned up to grill burgers, veggie burgers and hot dogs. Employees came out on the patio to enjoy the warm weather, good tunes and food fresh off the grill. Employees were also able to choose which of four charities they wanted their proceeds to benefit.

The four charities included: Blessings in a Backpack, which provides food each weekend to low-income students at local public schools; Garrett’s Space, which provides mental health programs to young adults in an effort to reduce suicides; Last Day Dog Rescue, a local no-kill animal shelter; and Masco School of Hope, a school in rural China sponsored by Masco Asia and Liberty Hardware.

Thanks to all our guest grillers who made this series possible!
