TEAM NATALIA MARCHES FOR BABIES

If you ask people why they believe in or support a cause, most will say it is because they or someone they know were profoundly affected by it. That is certainly the case for me and my family. In 2009, my daughter was born 15 weeks premature. Weighing just 1 pound 10 ounces, we watched her struggle through her 105-day stay in the neonatal intensive care unit. During that time, the March of Dimes provided my family with support, education, and even basic necessities that helped us through each day. When we left the hospital with our daughter in our arms, we vowed never to forget those who helped us make it through such difficult times.

On Saturday, May 1, we had our first opportunity to give back. My husband and I, joined by our 8 team members, including fellow PC Construction employees Stacy Tomko and Sara Stromme, walked a four-mile route in downtown Burlington, Vermont, for the annual March for Babies. With corporate support from PC Construction as well as donations from over 40 PC Construction co-workers, and countless friends and family members, our team raised over $4,300. It was especially gratifying to give back to an organization that gave so much to us.
