SPRINGFIELD — PDC Inc., a leading walls and ceilings contractor with offices in Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New York, raised a grand total of $100,000 during its ninth annual golf tournament held on Sept. 5 at Crestview Country Club in Agawam. Of that, $50,000 was donated to the Gray House Inc. in Springfield, and the other half benefited 87 charities primarily located throughout Massachusetts and Connecticut, in addition to several national organizations.

“After several successful tournaments, we created the PDC Foundation to better support our mission to give back to the community,” PDC co-owner Nick Shaink said. “We are particularly excited to have donated $50,000 of this year’s proceeds to our signature charity, the Gray House, an organization whose mission closely aligns with our values.”

The Gray House is dedicated to helping individuals and families facing hardship by providing food, clothing, and educational services in a safe, welcoming environment.

“We had the privilege of visiting the Gray House and touring their facilities with Executive Director Kristen McClintock,” Shaink said. “We witnessed firsthand the profound impact they have on the community.”

PDC co-owner Ron Perry added that “the record-breaking total we raised this year is a testament to the power of collaboration and our shared commitment to making a meaningful difference. A very special ‘thank you’ goes out to all of our event sponsors and participants, whose contributions made this day possible.”
