Piping & Service Industry Coalition of Western New York Contributes to MCERF

February 29, 2016

The Piping & Service Coalition, a Western New York partnership of more than 50 contractors and nearly 1,000 highly-skilled union craftspeople represented by Plumbers & Steamfitters Local Union No. 22, has made a $25,000 pledge to the Mechanical Contracting Education & Research Foundation (MCERF), a first-ever labor-management contribution.

The pledge will be paid in five $5,000 installments over the next five years, the first installment was presented earlier this month.

Robert Beck, president of John W. Danforth Company (Tonawanda, NY), and a proud member of the coalition, told MCERF “…the mission of the P&SIC is the promotion, advancement and education and training of the piping and service industry.” He noted that the coalition saw common values between themselves and MCERF in their mutual commitment to member education, which is what convinced them to make their pledge.

MCERF President Mark Rogers and the Board of Trustees expressed their deep appreciation for the generous support and the coalition’s commitment to education. Find out more about MCERF programs and how they benefit our industry by clicking on the link below.
