A fan of all-things Disney – especially the princesses and her personal favorite Rapunzel – Paulina, in a Rapunzel gown, was crowned Shell Deer Park Princess for the Day by Deer Park Fire Chief Don Davis. “On behalf of the city of Deer Park and Mayor Jerry Mouton, I’d like to thank Shell Deer Park and the Make-A-Wish Foundation for inviting us to be part of this event,” Davis said.

Shell Deer Park Chemicals ties its commitment to Make-A-Wish to improving safety with a special program from its ACE (Armed. Confident. Empowered.) committee, with donations made for completion of proactive safety observations. “ACE has committed to making Deer Park a safe place to work as well as making Paulina’s wish come true,” said Shell Deer Park Chemicals General Manager Nathan Levin. “We are grateful for your continued support and dedication to the site and our community.” The Shell Deer Park Leadership team aided the cause by volunteering for a dunk tank during Family Day at the Armand Bayou Nature Center. Funds raised were used to purchase a Disney-themed carry-on suitcase for Paulina that was filled with goodies for her trip.

Paulina, joined by her mother, was crowned Shell Deer Park Princess for the Day by Deer Park Fire Chief Don Davis as part of a Make-A-Wish reveal event that will send her to Walt Disney World in Florida.

Donations for a dunk tank at Shell Deer Park Family Day helped purchase Disney-themed luggage for Paulina’s trip to Disney World.

TEXAS MUTUAL

To help strengthen the Texas economy and fortify businesses, Texas Mutual awarded over $3.5 million in workforce development and safety training grants through our second community funding request for proposal in the fall. After an extensive review process, we distributed grants to 48 Texas nonprofits focused on upskilling, apprenticeships and safety training programs. Through these initiatives, we’ve delivered nearly $7 million to support our communities and hardworking Texans. Taking care of Texans is at the heart of what we do, and that’s why we continue to do our part to invest in stronger, safer communities.
