Bell is a proud sponsor of the Richmond Public Schools Education Foundation which supports the MARSS Program (Mentoring and Reading Student to Student). This program matches elementary school students with high school students. The elementary school students enhance their reading skills, expand knowledge, increase vocabulary and develop relationships with role models. The high schoolers obtain service learning experience, a small stipend, donation to a scholarship fund for each semester of participation and a gratification that only mentoring can bring.
Bell was the mechanical and plumbing design-assist subcontractor on the University of Virginia - University Hospital Expansion (UVA-UHE) project in Charlottesville, VA. Bell's team at UVA-UHE was led by Senior Project Manager, Phil Hull. This project is featured in the linked article.
Friday afternoon the 16th of June, members of the Bell Family, current and past employees, and other guests who hold a long-standing relationship with the Company gathered to honor The Bell Company's founder at the annual John P. Bell Day picnic.
