3M Company has awarded a grant to Knoxville High School Musical Theatre Program, due to the volunteer efforts of an employee.

Dennis Shalon, Maintenance Technologist for 3M, has volunteered with the theatre program to help construct the sets, with the flying portion of shows, and worked with the pit band to provide monitors. 3M has donated $500 through their Volunteer Match program, which seeks to honor a 3M employee or retiree who volunteers 25 hours or more per calendar year.
