West Pharmaceutical Services Inc. donates $50K to YMWIC Foundation

In January, Eric Green, president and CEO of West Pharmaceutical Services, Inc. hosted the Annual CEO Breakfast for Corporate Leaders benefitting YMWIC Foundation Inc. at their headquarters in Exton.

During the session, Green, demonstrated the West commitment by handing YMWIC’s CEO, Richard Roberts III, a $50,000 check as part of their multi-year commitment. During Green’s welcome speech, he mentioned that as a young student, someone pulled him aside and showed him how everything evolves around chemistry. This started his journey down the path of science, research, and innovation. He mentioned that individuals and organizations such as YMWIC Foundation, Inc. are critical in helping to inspire and feed our future pipeline of STEM professionals. Green appealed to the group of distinguished corporate leaders to join in supporting YMWIC’s efforts.
