Corning Incorporated (NYSE: GLW) announced today a $25,000 cash
donation to the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund International, becoming an
official sponsor for the second consecutive year. Corning’s
donation will support the organization’s ongoing efforts to monitor
and protect gorillas and their habitats in Africa.
“Corning is proud to support the Fossey Fund and the majestic
animals that inspired our Corning® Gorilla® Glass
marketing campaign,” said Daniel F. Collins, vice president of
Corporate Communications. “As an organization dedicated to research
and data collection, the Fossey Fund naturally aligns with
Corning’s values. Their outstanding work makes a significant impact
in gorilla conservation.”
Founded in 1978, the Fossey Fund’s rescue, rehabilitation,
tracking, and anti-poaching patrol initiatives help ensure the
survival of this highly endangered species. The Fossey Fund also
collaborates with other international organizations to promote
research and provide educational programs on gorillas.
"We are delighted that Corning has chosen to continue their
sponsorship of our efforts to protect endangered gorillas and their
critically important habitats in Rwanda and the Democratic Republic
of Congo," said Clare Richardson, president and chief executive
officer of the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund. "Corning's contribution
will help us fight poaching, carry out important research that
guides conservation planning, and encourage the people who live
near the gorillas to continue their partnerships with us. When a
major corporation like Corning shows sustained support for our
conservation programs, they inspire others to do the same.
Supporters like Corning make it possible for us to make a real
difference for the gorillas and for the planet."
