Citing the unmatched value that ANVIL International receives from its relationship with the mechanical contracting and service industries and its strong partnership in numerous research studies and cutting-edge programs, ANVIL recently sent the Mechanical Contracting Education & Research Foundation (MCERF) a check for $10,000. This contribution ups ANVIL's total cash contributions to $520,000, which combined with an additional in-kind contribution of $650,000 brings their total investment in the Foundation to $1,170,000. John Martin, ANVIL's VP-Special Projects, noted that, "Our relationship with the entire mechancial contracting and service community is enhanced by our involvement with the Foundation. The Foundation is a great fit with our values and interests. We are proud to be strong partners with them!" MCERF President Bob FitzGerald expressed his sincere appreciation to ANVIL for the depth of financial and human resource support they provide the Foundation. "They not only step forward with cash, but the amount of time and volunteer support that Tom Fish (President, ANVIL) allows folks like John (Martin) and many others from the company to give us is phenomenal. It's a very strong relationship!"
