\"\"<\/a>Atlanta, GA<\/strong> \u2013 PC Construction, among the nation\u2019s largest employee-owned construction companies, recently announced the results of its \u201cPC Gives Back\u201d contest to determine which of 10 Atlanta-area non-profits will split $15,000. PC Construction encouraged local residents to vote for their favorites among 10 worthy charities selected by the company\u2019s employee-owners.<\/p>\n

Chattahoochee Riverkeeper (CRK),<\/a> a nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting and preserving the Chattahoochee River, was the top vote-getter with approximately 23 percent of the nearly 6,000 votes cast and received $10,000. A check presentation took place earlier today at the Chattahoochee Riverkeeper Office. PC Construction\u2019s most recent local project is a joint venture on the City of Atlanta Water Supply Project, one of the largest infrastructure projects currently underway in the country. The project will connect the city\u2019s water supply with the Chattahoochee River to significantly increase Atlanta\u2019s drinking water reserves.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to support this organization and its work to protect the river, its lakes and tributaries for the people, fish and wildlife that depend upon them,\u201d said Joe Porter, director of business development and employee-owner at PC Construction. \u201cChattahoochee Riverkeeper uses advocacy, education, research, and more to protect and preserve the river and its watershed, which provides a drinking water source for nearly four million people.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs our work in the areas of water and wastewater infrastructure continue to grow, we\u2019re very pleased to support organizations that protect our valued natural resources,\u201d said Kevin McCarthy, President and CEO of PC Construction.<\/p>\n

Juliet Cohen, executive director of CRK, said the non-profit would make quick use of the $10,000 it receives as first-place winner in the contest.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are thrilled to be selected as the PC Construction contest winner,\u201d she said \u201cThe $10,000 prize will allow us to take 400 underserved children, most of whom have never even been on a boat before, on board our Floating Classroom programs. The Floating Classroom is truly a once-in-a-lifetime outdoor education experience.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other winners include CHRIS 180 (formerly CHRIS Kids)<\/a> an organization formed to heal children, strengthen families and build community through mental health counseling, training, safe housing and real-world skill building. They will receive a $3,000 gift. Cool Girls,<\/a> which provides motivation, encouragement, and reinforcement to help girls make smart choices and deter risky behaviors, while giving guidance for positive transformation, will receive $2,000.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are happy to support these organizations in Atlanta and urge the community to support all of the hard-working non-profits who participated,\u201d McCarthy urged.<\/p>\n

Other non-profits that competed in the contest included Atlanta Children\u2019s Shelter<\/a>, Camp Kudzu<\/a>, Families First<\/a>, Georgia Center for Child Advocacy<\/a>, Nicholas House<\/a>, PATH Foundation<\/a>, and Senior Connections<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
