For the seventh year in a row, PCL Construction has donated more than $1.1 million to benefit the Mile High United Way. In the two short weeks of its annual Mile High United Way campaign, 154 employees raised $554,850, and PCL matched employee contributions dollar for dollar. “Mile High United Way is incredibly grateful and proud of the partnership we have with PCL Construction,” said Christine Benero, president and CEO of Mile High United Way, “They are setting the bar for corporate social responsibility in our city, and we simply could not change lives and transform communities without their leadership.” To encourage participation and awareness, PCL hosted various fundraisers, including a root-beer float sale, wine-cork pull, cooking competition, go-cart racing and bowling. Donations made help Mile High United Way support local programs focused on school readiness, youth success and adult self-sufficiency. “PCL recognizes the extraordinary impact Mile High United Way has on the community in which it works,” said Shaun Yancey, PCL president and chief operating officer of U.S. Operations. “We are honored to give back to an organization that gives so much, and we look forward to continuing our strong relationship with Mile High United Way.” High Fives! recognizes good deeds and accomplishments by companies and individuals in the Colorado commercial real estate industry.
