Thousands of West Virginia and Ohio students gain access to the Oglebay Institute through REACH program.

Chase awarded a $31,000 grant to Oglebay Institute to continue the Chase REACH Program during the 2007/08 school year. The program annually gives more than 9,000 Ohio and West Virginia students valuable experiences in environmental and arts education.

The Chase Resources for Environment, Arts, Culture and Humanities (REACH) program provides opportunities for schools to enhance or fulfill curriculum in these academic areas through participation in educational programming conducted by Oglebay Institute, West Virginia’s largest private arts organization.

Funds are available for public elementary and middle schools in Ohio, Belmont and Jefferson counties as well as some private schools.
