Bridgeville-based II-VI Foundation pumps millions into local scholarships, camps, research from the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
"A little-known foundation, funded by the man who earned his fortune by starting a Sharpsburg optics and material-science company, is boosting students who wish to pursue science and research careers that are becoming significant in the 21st century. The II-VI Foundation in Bridgeville, started in 2007 by Carl Johnson and his wife, Margot, is spending millions of dollars on scholarships, camps and research projects in the region to promote scientific pursuits."
