Vernal’s Pepsi-Cola bottling company has been a supporter of UBTech as a four year sponsor of the school’s annual Foundation Golf Tournament. Pepsi-Cola manager Steve Hansen wanted to do more, however, and last fall the process began to explore a deeper partnership between the organizations. This month, exactly that was accomplished with the signing of an agreement in which Pepsi-Cola will provide $10,000 dollars annually to UBTech, which the UBTech Foundation can use to help students in any of the school’s programs. “Pepsi-Cola bottling company of Vernal plays a large part in our community,” shares UBTech President Aaron Weight. “They are involved in local events, local businesses, and continually support causes in the Uintah Basin. We are delighted to partner with such a wonderful company.” The students who benefit from the annual donation are required to meet certain specifications, including contributing a donation back to the UBTech Foundation within one-year of program completion and employment.
