Education - Developing mind and character

With the conviction that education provides the surest guarantee of a just, free and lasting society, Shamrock Supply Company is committed to the support of both secondary and collegiate education. Through our efforts, we seek to promote academic programs that develop the mind and character of unique individuals and prepare them to make reasoned choices between truth and error, between right and wrong.

Focusing our support upon local academic institutions and those schools/colleges/universities with which our employees are directly associated (e.g., alumni, parents, etc.), Shamrock Supply Company works to further in successive generations of American students a better understanding of the literary, aesthetic, economic, political, philosophic and spiritual ideals upon which American society is founded and which promote insight, imagination, and moral sensibility. With this foundation, we believe that American society, guided by the leaders of tomorrow, will continue to be marked by a citizenry dedicated to critical appraisal, technological advancement, socio-political stability, artistic expression, civility and self-responsibility - in short, to the ideals of a free people.

Health - Research, education and treatment of illness

Recognizing the significance of health, both physical and psychological, to the accomplishment of all human activity and thus every pursuit of personal freedom, Shamrock Supply Company is committed to the support of public and private health and social service programs that seek to restore and/or to preserve the health of members of the local community through research, education, and treatment of illness or disorder.

We believe that the health and well-being of individual members of the community is not only the primary purpose of business enterprise, but also discloses the strength and vitality of the local community. Consequently, the personnel and processes of Shamrock Supply Company are motivated and directed by its informal motto, "Slainte!" (a traditional Irish toast, loosely translated "To your health!").
