The Mechanical Contracting Education & Research Foundation (MCERF) recently received generous contributions from two affiliated Midwest local associations. The Eastern Iowa/Western Illinois MCA's contribution brings its total to $7,000. A contribution from the MCA of Rockford, Inc. is a payment towards its $17,500 pledge. MCERF President Bob FitzGerald and the Board of Trustees gratefully acknowledge the support from both associations, which helps the Foundation maintain its industry-relevant education programs and research initiatives.
