Room to Read will receive a donation of $17,500 on behalf of Ingredion Incorporated because Ingredion booked a SafeStart presentation.

Don Wilson, Vice President of SafeStart, donates the proceeds of all his speaking fees to Room to Read and the ASSE Foundation, two organizations that provide educational and financial support to students around the world. Jim Grieve, SafeStart safety consultant, will be presenting Complacency the Silent Killer on September 27 and 29 on behalf of Don at the Ingredion Incorporated safety day in Indianapolis.

All donations to Room to Read through September 30 will be matched dollar for dollar by the Burger King McLamore Foundation. The donation of $8,750 that will be made after Jim’s presentation will be doubled to $17,500.

This donation will further Room to Read’s mission to provide millions of children in Africa and Asia with safe classrooms filled with school books.
