ALLIANCE SWEEPSTAKES RAISES FUNDS FOR SCHOLARSHIP Las Vegas—During the National Roofing Contractors Association's (NRCA's) 122nd Annual Convention, The Roofing Industry Alliance for Progress held its Melvin Kruger Endowed Scholarship Sweepstakes. The sweepstakes netted more than $16,000 for the Alliance's Melvin Kruger Endowed Scholarship Fund. The sweepstakes winner was announced during NRCA's cocktail and awards reception, which took place Feb. 4. LeAnne Sanders, president of Thermo Manufacturing, Lindale, Texas, won the sweepstakes' grand prize: a 2009 BMW 128i convertible. The Melvin Kruger Endowed Scholarship Fund provides scholarships to employees, immediate family members of employees and immediate family members of NRCA members. Employees and their families who plan to pursue post-secondary education in college and vocational programs are eligible for the merit-based scholarships. Scholarship recipients receive funding for up to four years of full-time study at any accredited post-secondary institution. Scholarship details and an application for the 2010-11 academic year will be available at www.roofingindustryalliance.net in late summer or early fall. The Alliance was established in 1996 within the National Roofing Foundation, a separate but related educational and research organization of NRCA, to address critical industry issues. The organization is open to all roofing contractor and industry partners. Alliance members are committed to securing the future excellence of the roofing industry.
