Fort Lauderdale, FL, May 2019 – Allied Steel Buildings, a recognized leading supplier of high-quality pre-engineered steel buildings and structural building systems, is proud to become a sponsor of the Museum of Discovery and Science in Fort Lauderdale, FL. The museum’s mission, “to provide experiential pathways to lifelong learning in science for children and adults through exhibits, programs and films”, is one that Allied is thrilled to stand behind. The company recognizes the benefits of community engagement and has a long history of giving back. Since becoming a sponsor for the museum, Allied has been involved in helping programs that promote women in engineering and has helped raise awareness about the impact of engineering projects and related careers around the world.
“Our team at Allied is fortunate enough to be able to work on some of the world’s most interesting Design/Building projects, many of which require engineering ingenuity to accomplish our clients’ goals,” said Michael Lassner, President, Founder and CEO of Allied Steel Buildings. He added: “It was only natural for us to support the Museum of Discovery and Science efforts in promoting science and engineering, especially to our local youth, providing them with a platform for exploring, learning and, most importantly, dreaming big. We feel a great sense of responsibility to inspire youngsters to discover the possibilities of careers in our field.”
Giving back is not something new to this organization, as their leadership firmly believes that when the company prospers, it becomes vital for them to invest in community engagement initiatives. From volunteering as a team at Ronald McDonald house, donating to organizations such as Feed My Starving Children to participating in a cycling race to raise funds for charity, Allied is confident that community engagement not only contributes to a happier workforce and a more loyal customer base, but it is also just the right thing to do.
The Museum of Discovery and Science President/CEO Joseph P. Cox said, “Contributions from our corporate sponsors are crucial to the expansion of our educational initiatives in the community. Their support helps us create more opportunities to promote STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) through fun and informative events and we are thankful for Allied’s commitment to our mission.”
