Blackmer Raises Funds For USS Gerald R. Ford
GRAND RAPIDS, MI.-Blackmer®,
part of PSG®, a Dover company, has
concluded a fundraiser for the crew of
the USS Gerald R. Ford, the lead ship in
a new class of supercarriers designed
for crisis response and early decisive
striking power in major combat operations. The ship was christened in November 2013 and will be officially commissioned later this year, with its first
deployment set for 2019, Blackmer notes.
The funds from the event-a lunch
and raffle-will be used on a learning
and training center, chapel, crew library,
tribute room, ceremonial quarterdeck,
commanding officer's import cabin complex, and enhancements to the food service division, Blackmer says. The company
points out that it worked with the vessel's
commissioning committee, the Naval
League and the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Foundation Library & Museum

in Grand Rapids to organize the event.
"This started as a simple grass-roots
donation request, but then it grew into a
fun lunch event, which then grew even
bigger as the many sponsors felt a kinship
for our cause. The food kept improving
and the raffle kept growing," comments
Ivars Bergs, manager of the military and
marine group for PSG Grand Rapids,
and one of the main organizers of the
various activities. "Our people really
were looking forward to it and plenty of
goodwill has been generated."
Blackmer notes it became an official
supplier to the U.S. Military in 1914,
and received a contract to provide sliding
vane pumps for use on the Gerald R.
Ford in 2007. The company adds that 10
percent of its employees are veterans.
