Pratt & Whitney participates
in Habitat for Humanity
Twenty-four Pratt & Whitney
employees volunteered with Habitat
for Humanity to help build a home
in South Hartford. The volunteers
installed a front porch and drywall of
the new home, and completed more
than half of the interior. The event was
part of Habitat for Humanity's Build-A-
Thon program, which raised enough
funding to sponsor another home
for a family in Greater Hartford this
year. Pictured (from left) are: Michael
Romero, Jackie James and Kerri Hart.
