Sol Inc., a solar LED outdoor lighting supplier, donated two Greenway™ solar LED pathway lighting systems to the Boys & Girls Club of Martin County, Minnesota. The donation was recently featured in the Scripps Treasure Coast ‘Luminaries’ and the Treasure Coast Business Journal.
Sol’s solar light donation program allows employees to identify local organizations that will benefit from Sol’s efficient LED lighting. Once a charity has been identified, a team of volunteers participate in assembling the solar lighting systems and installing them at the charity’s facilities during after-work hours. Charities are chosen based on several criteria including that the organization demonstrate a need for solar lighting, is registered as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and is allowed to install solar lighting on their premises. Sol will be funding an additional five charities over the next 6-8 months.
The donation to the Boys and Girls Club is part of Sol’s ongoing philanthropic effort in making solar lighting equipment donations to those in need. Along with providing solar lighting to Florida based charities, Sol donates to disaster relief efforts. Past recipients include: Hurricane Katrina Recovery Lighting (2005), Hurricane Rita Recovery Lighting (2005), Peruvian Earthquake Relief (2008), Port St. Lucie Florida Bus Shelters (2008), and Chapman, Kansas Tornado Redevelopment Lighting (2009).
