“$150,000 is a record-breaking total for scholarship dollars available,” said Foundation Chair Kevin Tindall of Tindall and Ranson Plumbing in Windsor, N.J. “I’m glad that we have such strong support for this program, and for Moen really stepping in with funding this year. That support is helping us all by getting more people working in our trade.”
