2. Introduction
• Redding, CT resident David Bohn leads Preferred
Utilities Manufacturing Corporation, a manufacturer of
industrial burners, boilers, and other HVAC products.
David Bohn balances his professional obligations with
his commitment to charity, and supports several
nonprofit organizations, such as the Children's
Educational Opportunity Foundation of Connecticut, in
the greater CT area.
In Connecticut, students who attend private schools tend
to fare better than their peers in public schools. They
score higher on tests, are more likely to graduate, and
generally experience positive educational outcomes.

3. Children's Educational Opportunity
Foundation
• The Children's Educational Opportunity Foundation of
Connecticut (CEO) works to equalize educational
opportunities for area students. It provides scholarships
to local elementary school students, allowing them to
attend a private school when they would not have been
able to afford tuition otherwise. Many of these students
go on to be successful in secondary education, and they
become significantly more likely to attend college.
Over the organization's 21-year history, $16 million
worth of scholarships have allowed more than 8,000
children to access a higher standard of education. The
CEO currently provides 400 additional scholarships each
year to students in need in the Connecticut community.
