On April 14, Pennsylvania Petroleum Association (PPA) hosted its annual Shoot for Scholarships Clay Shoot, raising more than $31,000 to support the Robert V. Boltz Scholarship Foundation. This marks the highest amount ever raised through the event.
The event brought together association members, industry partners and supporters for a day of sporting clays and networking, all in support of workforce development initiatives. Funds raised through the clay shoot directly benefit students pursuing technical training and careers in the energy and HVAC industries.
The Robert V. Boltz Scholarship Foundation, named after industry-leader Bob Boltz, is a nonprofit foundation established to provide tuition assistance to students seeking to enroll into Pennsylvania Petroleum Association Technical Education Center (PPATEC).
The clay shoot continues to be a key fundraising event for the foundation, with participation and support growing each year. This year’s record-breaking total reflects the strong and ongoing commitment of PPA members to invest in the future workforce.
