NFPA Members Support Fluid Power Education

NFPA members continue to impress with their generous support of fluid power education.  To date, multiple members have committed their time and talent to supporting, organizing, or managing Fluid Power Action Challenge events or similar activities. These efforts will introduce over 2,400 students to fluid power at more than thirty schools and organizations around the country. Additionally, the schools and organizations will benefit from over $18,000 in Action Challenge Grant awards.  These successes belong to you; thank you for your generous support and efforts!     

If you would like to get involved with an existing Action Challenge event or know of a school or organization seeking grant funds to incorporate fluid power education, please contact James Foster at jfoster@nfpa.com.
