| BERWYN, Pa., Aug. 14, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Melmark, Inc., a national leader in educational, clinical and residential services for children and adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other intellectual and developmental disabilities, announces that Allan Myers, Inc., a Worcester, PA-based self-performing heavy civil construction and construction materials company, has made a $200,000 commitment to Melmark. This donation will be earmarked for the construction of a new state-of-the-art school facility, slated for construction in 2020.
“My deepest appreciation and thanks to Allan Myers, Inc. for a gift of this magnitude,” said Melmark President and CEO Rita M. Gardner, M.P.H., LABA, BCBA. “While our types of businesses may be different, the strategic plans and visions guiding our organizations parallel each other rather closely. Both of our organizations emphasize a mission-first approach for all of our stakeholders, provide a culture of sophisticated professional development support for staff, and promote respect for all individuals and their families.” Melmark will honor the generosity of Allan Myers, Inc. through the naming of its physical therapy center, which will be located in the new school building. Melmark’s physical therapists are part of a broader rehabilitative services team offering a breadth of services to both children and adults. Naming the physical therapy center in honor of Allan Myers, Inc. appropriately reflects the far-reaching impact the company’s gift will have on the individuals Melmark serves. “Melmark changes people’s lives, and that’s really hard work,” said Ross Myers, CEO of Allan Myers, Inc. “We at Allan Myers were immediately impressed, not only by Melmark’s work, but also by the organization’s leadership structure and mission-first approach at services. We are thrilled to support such a wonderful organization.” In addition to the new physical therapy center, the new building will feature:
The new building will also include a graduate training and professional development auditorium with full connectivity, optimized acoustics, and technologically-sophisticated electronic presentation aids. This space will also be used for new-hire orientation events, on-going staff trainings, family meetings and Melmark’s expert speaker series, available to families and professionals in the region. For the past two years, Allan Myers has also sponsored the Hubert J.P. Schoemaker Golf Classic benefitting the children and adults served at Melmark’s service division in Pennsylvania. The company’s generous support has helped this outing raise over $5 million since its inception in 2006. About Allan Myers, Inc. About Melmark
