Introduction

RPM is proud to announce our partnership with the ChadTough Defeat DIPG Foundation—a nonprofit organization dedicated to funding research to cure pediatric brain tumors, specifically Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG). DIPG is an aggressive, inoperable form of cancer with a near-zero survival rate, and it is critically underfunded.

Our support of the ChadTough Foundation reflects RPM’s commitment to high-impact philanthropy, strong community connections, and a shared sense of purpose. This partnership is more than charitable giving—it’s a chance to stand behind a mission that matters deeply and personally to many.

The foundation was inspired by Chad Carr, the grandson of former University of Michigan football coach Lloyd Carr. Chad was diagnosed with DIPG at the age of four and bravely fought the disease for 14 months before passing away in 2015. His story brought national attention to the urgent need for research and funding in the fight against this devastating childhood cancer.

We know that each of us wants to make a difference beyond the day-to-day—and this is our opportunity to do just that. Let’s work for a company that stands for something bigger than business, one that cares deeply for both our people and the communities around us.

Let’s make an impact, together, as OneRPM .
