Pat Weaver and John Garnick Receive KSI Champion Award

Kent-Sussex Industries, Inc., (KSI) presented the KSI Champion Award to two area businessmen, Pat Weaver of Playtex Products and John Garnick of Procter & Gamble Dover Wipes Company, at its 13th Annual Business Appreciation Awards Breakfast.

KSI Vice President, Jayson Crouch described the characteristics of a KSI Champion. He said, “Both of these men are true KSI Champions. A KSI Champion is a person who fully believes in the mission of KSI and the ABILITIES of people with disabilities. This person aggressively looks for opportunities within their organization for contracts and work opportunities for KSI. They willingly and enthusiastically share their KSI experiences with others in hopes of creating additional employment opportunities for people with disabilities. This person’s efforts have had a significant impact on the lives of others. We are fortunate to have two KSI Champions this year.” 

KSI is a vocational rehabilitation organization whose mission is to provide supports and services which help individuals who need specialized assistance to obtain and maintain an optimal level of employment.  KSI has worked with area businesses since 1962 to provide employment.  Today, KSI provides training and employment to nearly 250 individuals per year.  For more information contact Alicia Hollis, Director of Community Relations at (302) 422-4014 ext. 3015.
