PPG Announces Partnership With Make-A-Wish

January 17, 2016

CRANBERRY TOWNSHIP, PA – PPG Architectural Coatings has teamed up with Make-A-Wish® America to help bring hope, strength and joy to children with life-threatening medical conditions through the power of color and a fresh coat of paint.

By working together, PPG and Make-A-Wish transform wish kids’ bedrooms, playrooms and playsets into spaces they once only imagined. Whether it be a castle in the clouds, a jungle hideaway or a rockin’ rodeo room, wish kids are constantly coming up with inventive new design ideas, and PPG and Make-A-Wish are there to make them happen.

“PPG is proud to partner with Make-A-Wish – an organization that inspires for its dedication to transforming the lives of sick children through wishes,” said Tom Maziarz, Vice President, Stores and Dealers, PPG Architectural Coatings, U.S. and Canada. “Through this partnership, we anticipate hundreds of room makeovers will be granted each year with help from PPG, bringing joy to children across Canada, the U.S. and Puerto Rico.”

PPG color experts have compiled 20 cheerful and inspirational paint color palettes specifically for Make-A-Wish wishes. Each five-color palette is designed and named with a child’s optimism in mind, including themes such as dinosaur disco, carnival of color and secret safari. Wish kids can also choose their own unique paint color pairings to fit what they wish to express in their spaces. With paint names such as Tickled Pink, Hopscotch, Zombie, Cookie Dough and Red Gumball, children are sure to find colors that will spark their imagination.

As part of the partnership, PPG will offer special pricing on paint and paint accessories to Make-A-Wish, available through an expansive network of company-owned stores, including PPG PAINTS™ stores in the United States, DULUX® stores in Canada and GLIDDEN® stores in Puerto Rico.
