Fairmount Santrol Donates To Cardinal Students

Cardinal is grateful to Fairmount Santrol and the United Way Services of Geauga County for providing 200 personal care kits to the district. Fairmount says it is one of the largest projects it has and in addition to Cardinal, it also provides boxes to Chardon, Newbury and Berkshire.

It is part of the company’s community investment initiative to give back to the area. Each personal care box is recyclable and contains items like soap, deodorant, shampoo, conditioner, a toothbrush and toothpaste. Fairmount says it hopes this will be a continuous donation the company can provide for the students.
