Canonsburg, PA - November 19, 2019 - This past August, the Marcellus & Utica Gas Suppliers, Services, and Manufacturers Association (MUG) held their third quarter board meeting at the Drake Well Museum and Park and also hosted the Oil Patch Memorial Golf Scramble at Foxburg Country Club. Using funds raised from the golf outing, the Board of Directors voted in a unanimous decision to make a $2,000 donation to the Drake Well Museum and Park to fund an in-the-classroom program at multiple schools throughout Pennsylvania. The program is used to educate students about the rich history of the oil and gas industry in this region and also bring awareness to the benefits the industry provides to the local communities. Schools that will receive the in-the-classroom program are in Warren, PA, Sheffield, PA, Greensburg, PA, Washington County, PA, and South Fayette, PA. MUG is excited to continue the growth of the nonprofit and continue to extend its donations and community outreach throughout the Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia regions.
