A Proud Moment for the IGE Family at the 2026 NYC Marathon

🏅 A Proud Moment for the IGE Family at the 2026 NYC Marathon! 🗽

At IGE Glass Technologies, Inc., family has always been at the heart of who we are. This past Sunday, November 1st, we had an extra reason to celebrate as members of the Spellman and Borda families took on the incredible challenge of the New York City Marathon!

🏃‍♀️ Erin Spellman Butler - running her 5th marathon - crossed the finish line with an incredible time of 3:44. Recently earning her Master's Degree from the NYU Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service, Erin ran in support of the Chris Long Foundation's initiative "Waterboys", a charitable organization dedicated to bringing clean water access to communities in Africa, raising almost $5,500 in donations.

Two remarkable individuals, two very different journeys, and one shared demonstration of determination, discipline, and perseverance.

We couldn't be prouder of Erin and David!

From all of us at IGE, congratulations to both of you and to every runner who crossed the finish line yesterday. Whether it was your first marathon or your fifteenth, the commitment it takes to prepare for and complete this extraordinary race is something to celebrate.

Here's to setting ambitious goals, pushing beyond limits, and making every mile count! 👏🏅
