Simi Valley Education Foundation is proud to announce the award of $19,000 grant from Alcoa Fastening Systems, located in Simi Valley. This generous donation is a step forward in filling the gap between what public schools can afford and what educators seek to achieve and will further support and enhance the educational process within the Simi Valley public school system.

Kevin Casey, Karen Harlan and Jim Vigdor, all from Alcoa Fastening Systems, personally delivered the check to the Foundation at a recent Board meeting. “Alcoa is delighted to partner with the Simi Valley Education Foundation again this year. Investing in education and strengthening ties with the community is an investment in the future of Simi Valley,” Jim Vigdor said. “To date, Alcoa Fastening Systems has provided $117,000 in grants to the Foundation.”

Alcoa Fastening Systems produces aerospace components, production tooling, bolts, assembly tool systems and header tooling for the aerospace industry. The grant is part of Alcoa Foundations commitment to improving the quality of life in communities where Alcoa operates.
