Uponor Donates $20K To TigerPath Academies In Hutchinson

APPLE VALLEY, MN — Apple Valley-based company Uponor, a plumbing and climate solutions company, announced that it recently hired its 100th employee at its Hutchinson production facility.

In honor of this, Uponor donated $20,000 to TigerPath Academies, an educational program at Hutchinson High School, the company said.

"TigerPath enables students to understand how their education sets them up for success after high school, Andrea Moore, TigerPath coordinator, said. "TigerPath also provides students with authentic career exploration and opportunities that are a ‘community conversation’ rather than something that exclusively happens within the four walls of our schools. The support, involvement and generosity of companies like Uponor help develop the right skills – and soft skills – of our students, while showcasing employment opportunities available to them at companies like Uponor in our community and beyond.”

Uponor said it continues its community outreach in Hutchinson. It sponsors the Hutchinson Hockey Association, Hutchinson Health Foundation and is a member of Hutchinson Chamber of Commerce, the company said.
