In a heartening display of corporate citizenship and community resilience, Paul Davis Restoration pledged a generous donation of $500,000 to the American Red Cross’ Annual Disaster Giving Program (ADGP) in January of this year. This proactive contribution underscores the company’s unwavering commitment to ensuring that the Red Cross is equipped to respond to disasters of any scale across the United States.
The ADGP, powered by forward-thinking members like Paul Davis Restoration, enables the Red Cross to maintain a robust infrastructure, train volunteers, and harness innovative technology and resources. These critical elements are vital for delivering timely relief and support to those affected by disasters.
Anne McKeough, Chief Development Officer at the American Red Cross, expressed profound gratitude for the donation: “Paul Davis Restoration’s contribution is a beacon of hope. It empowers us to fortify our capabilities and stand ready to assist individuals during their most challenging times.”
Rich Wilson, President and CEO of Paul Davis Restoration, shared the sentiment: “Our collaboration with the American Red Cross is more than a sponsorship; it’s a shared mission to provide extraordinary care in times of need. We’re proud to align with an organization that mirrors our dedication to service.”
