Petra Cares Receives Generous Donation from Reynolds and Reynolds to Help At-Risk Youth Build Stable Futures
Petra Cares, the non-profit arm of Petra Automotive Products, announced a generous donation from the Reynolds and Reynolds Company. The company has graciously contributed both financial support and heartfelt dedication to Petra Cares’ mission of creating lasting, positive change in the lives of at-risk youth.
This collaboration is especially timely as Petra Cares continues its critical work supporting young adults transitioning out of foster care and homeless, at-risk youth in the Houston area. Reynolds’ contribution will help fund Petra Cares’ innovative programs, which provide training, job placement and life skills education designed to empower vulnerable individuals to build stable futures and break the cycle of poverty.
“We are incredibly grateful for the partnership with Reynolds and Reynolds,” said Brian Meza, executive director of Petra Cares. “This donation will directly impact the lives of young adults in our community by providing them with the tools they need to succeed. Through this collaboration, we are helping these young individuals find meaningful employment, a sense of purpose and a chance to rewrite their futures.”
The donation will support Petra Cares’ comprehensive programs designed to provide education, training and employment opportunities within the automotive industry. These efforts are part of Petra Cares’ broader mission to eliminate the barriers faced by vulnerable youth, helping them graduate, secure jobs and, ultimately, build stable and sustainable futures for themselves and their families.
Arnold J. Gacita, president and CEO of Petra Automotive Products, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, saying, “At Petra Cares, we are deeply committed to investing in the next generation. By providing education and pathways to employment, we’re not just transforming individual lives, but uplifting entire communities. Our partnership with Reynolds and Reynolds is a powerful example of how businesses and nonprofits can work together to drive meaningful change for young adults in need.”
Reynolds has long been a champion of corporate social responsibility and is proud to partner with Petra Cares. “We are honored to support Petra Cares and their invaluable work with young adults in the foster care system,” said Reynolds COO, Willie Daughters. “This partnership reflects our shared commitment to making a positive, lasting impact on the communities we serve.”
