Rheem Receives First-Ever Equity Broadcasting Corporate Diversity Award.
June 25, 2007
Rheem was chosen to receive this year’s Corporate Diversity Award from Little Rock-based cable network Equity Broadcasting. Rheem is the first company to ever receive this honor which recognized the company’s long-standing reputation for community involvement, civic leadership and dedication to giving back.
Rheem has been actively involved in the local Fort Smith community, having awarded proceeds to dozens of local charities and organizations through the years. Its consistent support of programs such as Partners in Education that promote the happiness and well-being of children are cornerstones of Rheem community partnership and volunteerism. The company’s extraordinary four-year title sponsorship of the PGA TOUR Rheem Classic in Fort Smith pushed total charitable contributions to $1.1 million during the nine- year history of the event.
Equity Broadcasting (EBC) is viewed locally on My Network TV (channel 8) RTN (channel 10), and Univision (channel 29) in Spanish.
