NECA Gives Back

The goal of the NECA Adopt-a-School program is to support children, teachers and their communities. By promoting the electrical industry and helping schools in need, we can support the future of NECA and grow our workforce, all at the same time. This year, NECA Adopt-a-School will focus on Hope Academy in Chicago. The Silent Auction, sponsored by 3M, will be back with sports memorabilia, exotic trips, fine wine and liquor packages, jewelry, and more.
