Interview with Brenda Cothran

[Title]
Chairwoman, Deer Park Education Foundation
[Brenda Cothran]
This is the greatest event of the year for the foundation. We grew – partially, I think, because of the weather – but we are into the 1,800s of bibs that were purchased and run, probably about 200 or 300 more than last year. So thank you. Thank you, Shell Deer Park. We could not do this without you. You are the total reason that we’re here.

Today, we are showing two Shell games that are free – they’re both available on iTunes and Google Play. One is called Shell Career Quiz where you can learn about jobs in the energy industry, and the other one is Hydrocarbon Hunt. It’s a great introduction to organic chemistry, to learn about the products we make at Deer Park and how they’re used in your everyday life.
