The NACE Foundation recently solicited the assistance of some great kids to help promote Inspector Protector in his plight to battle corrosion around the world. These energetic kids were children (or relatives) of NACE staff members who stepped up to participate in this project. They were asked to take part in a photo shoot which would result in a new advertisement for the Foundation's Inspector Protector Program. This ad promotes the overall goal of the program, which was designed to enlighten children's young minds and challenge them to think about the effects of corrosion for the first time in their life.

The brave group of NACE children fought the evil forces of corrosion to participate in the photo shoot, which took place in August. The winning shot (shown above), features Victor Manzano (brother of Suzanne Moreno, Publications). Congratulations Victor! This ad appears in both the September and October edition of MP Magazine.
