Eaton Supports Hillside, Inc. with $15,000 Donation for Sustainable Patient
Dining Hall and Kitchen
PEACHTREE CITY, Ga. … Power management company Eaton today announced its support
and contribution of $15,000 to Hillside, Inc., a private, non-profit, Atlanta-based organization
providing treatment and education to severely emotionally disturbed children and their
families. The donation comes from Eaton’s Cooper Lighting Division and the Eaton Charitable
Fund, which will be used to build a new sustainable, 5,800-square-foot EarthCraft-certified
dining hall and kitchen, scheduled to open this month.
“The Eaton Charitable Fund actively supports programs that improve the quality of life in
communities where the company operates,” said Mark Eubank, president, Cooper Lighting
Division. “We are proud of Eaton’s civic involvement at Hillside and in Georgia, as well as all
of the global communities where we work. Supporting Hillside and assisting children in need
continue to be a priority for our employees.”
Eaton’s local Peachtree City employees will also volunteer with the organization, helping with
landscaping and improvement projects on the facility campus. The new kitchen and dining
facility will provide a much needed common area for greater interaction with the patients and
more opportunities for volunteering. Additionally, the new space will satisfy operational
efficiencies and sustainable goals.
Hillside strives to offer the best care available to mentally ill and\or severely emotionally
disturbed children and adolescents ages seven to 17. The organization is a state certified
