S&E Specialty Polymers LLC recently
sponsored its second annual charity
golf tournament at the Sterling National
Country Club in Sterling, MA, in support
of Life is good Playmakers, the non-profit
action arm of The Life is good Company.
The Play Fore Playmakers tournament
was a great success, with all profits from
registrations, donations and sponsorships
donated directly to the Playmakers
organization.
On 25th August Duane Shooltz, president
and COO, and Jay Munsey, national
sales director of S&E, presented Life
is good Playmakers with a check for
$20,000 at the Life is good headquarters
in Boston.
Life is good Playmakers helps young
children hurt by trauma, such as
violence, abuse, poverty and illness. The
organization provides comprehensive
support to early childhood professionals
– such as teachers, social workers and
medical specialists – dedicated to
caring for these at-risk children. To date,
Life is good Playmakers has supported
over 4,000 care providers nationwide.
“We could not have been happier with
the golf tournament and humbled by
the partnership with S&E,” said Rich
Cremin, partner at Life is good. “We
are all extremely grateful to have
friends like Duane, Jay, and the good
folks at Sterling National on our team.
The money raised fuels the work of the
Playmakers who help kids overcome
poverty, violence, and illness. We are
already looking forward to next year’s
tournament!”
S&E has announced its continuing
commitment to support the
organization, with the third Play Fore
Playmakers tournament scheduled for
20th July 2015.

Allied Wire & Cable has added two
instalments to its Cable Basics video
series: ‘Shielding and armor’ and
‘Insulation and jacketing’ have joined
‘Cable basics 101: conductors’.
The first video explained how a
conductor functions, and why the
material and type of conductor are
important. ‘Insulation and jacketing’
focuses entirely on the functions and
components to a wire’s insulation
and jacket; how insulation works to
protect the conductor while guarding
against interference, and to keep the
conductor’s signal strong, and how the
jacket works to protect the cable from
environmental hazards.
‘Shielding and armor’ details common
shielding and armor construction types,
and explains the terminology and
materials incommon use.While shielding
protects the inside of the cable, and
armor prevents physical damage from
the outside, there are many different
materials and types of shielding and
armor, and this video explains the
functionality and respective merits of
each type.
The videos can be viewed on Allied’s
YouTube channel.
