ZF Marine Donates to IYRS
ZF Marine donated $10,000 to the International Yacht Restoration School, (IYRS) in Newport, R.I. The donation, officially presented at the ZF Marine booth during the 2008 Fish Expo Atlantic show in Providence, R.I., was the result of proceeds raised at a charity event held during ZF Marine's annual VIP customer reception at the Miami International Boat Show, held in February of this year. ZF Marine LLC committed to donate $100 to the school for each person attending the event, and was pleased to be able to raise $10,000 for the school.ZF Marine LLC identified IYRS as the recipient of the funds after learning about the school's activities in the Northeast. IYRS provides “hands on” educational programs in the areas of Boatbuilding & Restoration, Marine systems technology, and Continuing education for industry tradespeople. In accepting the check from ZF Marine LLC, Terry Nathan, the President of IYRS reiterated the importance of industry support for the school, “Marine trades support is very important to us. When our industry partners donate, it validates that we are delivering on our mission of providing the good skilled labor, the kind of people worth investing in. We are very appreciative of this gift from ZF Marine.”
