CLEVELAND — The Sherwin-Williams Co. has been named a recipient of the National Council to Prevent Delinquency’s “Partner in Prevention” award for contributions to the council’s Anti-Graffiti project. Sherwin-Williams has provided funding for the council’s programs; paint and supplies for neighborhood cleanups; and technical and field support “wherever and whenever asked,” said Robert Hills, the council’s director.
The Council to Prevent Delinquency, which is supported by the coatings industry, works to discourage the dangerous or illegal misuse of consumer products such as aerosol paint by distributing information and providing theft-prevention training to retailers and graffiti-abatement and prevention programs to cities and counties.
