Employees made improvements to rec center,
neighborhood park and pool complex
Employees from Constellation joined the Baltimore City
Recreation and Parks department and officers from the Western
Police District today in West Baltimore’s Sandtown neighborhood to
revitalize the Lillian B. Jones Recreation Center and surrounding
area. The group painted, installed shelving, removed vines from
trees, cleaned up trash, and assembled items from the center’s wish
list that were donated by Constellation, including basketball hoops
and table games.
“Recreation centers are anchors of support for city youth, and
many are in need of improvements or new equipment. That’s why we
chose to work with Recreation and Parks and the Western Police
District to revitalize the Lillian B. Jones Recreation Center and
ensure that city students have a great place to learn and play,”
said Joseph Nigro, CEO of Constellation. “Constellation remains
committed to giving back to our hometown of Baltimore, and the city
can continue to count on our support.”
The group also repainted the pergola entryways and cut vines
from trees at the Pauline Fauntleroy Park, and repainted the fence
at the William Mcabee pool. Prior to the event, Constellation also
conducted an employee drive for school supplies and made a monetary
donation to the center for new office equipment.
“Collaboration between the city and local businesses is key to
improving our community,” said Ernest Burkeen Jr., director,
Baltimore City Department of Recreation and Parks. “Recreation
centers and parks provide a safe place for children to play and
communities to gather. Support from companies like Constellation
ensures that we are able to continue to offer this valuable service
to the people of Baltimore.”
Earlier this year, Constellation, together with parent company
Exelon and BGE, made a $200,000 donation to the Maryland Unites
Fund and the Baltimore Community Foundation’s fund to support
recovery efforts following unrest in the area. Today’s effort is
part of the company’s continued commitment to building a stronger
Baltimore and benefitting area residents.
Earlier this summer, the company joined the Urban Alliance to
conduct mock job interviews with 200 Baltimore City high school
students through a YouthWorks professional development program, and
served as the lead sponsor of Wide Angle Youth Media’s STEM robotic
film-making camp for inner city youth. Volunteers also gathered
last week at the Crossroads School, where more than 65
Constellation employees serve as mentors, to repaint and decorate
blackboards, organize and inventory library books, and assist
teachers with classroom set-up and other prep work.
