GREETINGS FROM THE RDGA'S NEWEST
CORPORATE PARTNER - BATTLE CONSTRUCTION
|
|
|
Mark Battle, VP & CFO, Battle Construction Co., Inc. |
Battle Construction Co., Inc., a Full Service Construction and Construction Management Company with offices in Victor, New York, is pleased to announce its alignment with the Rochester
District Golf Association as its newest Corporate Partner.
Established in 1963, Battle Construction has proudly built its foundation based on (4) time tested pillars of strength: Experience - Commitment to Quality - Integrity - and most importantly - Reputation.
"There is something very unique in having your last name associated with every project you deliver to your customers. We take enormous pride in our last name and make sure that it shows through in everything thing we do," said Mark Battle, VP & CFO of Battle Construction, who also currently serves as the President of the RDGA. "The Game of Golf has been very good to me personally and we have long believed that it is a good idea to give back to organizations or people that have been good to you."
Battle continues: "along with my brothers, Charles and Stephen Battle, both avid golfers themselves, our guiding principles are rooted in Integrity. The game of golf embodies that same principle.
We have found that the Mission of The RDGA, its Board and its many volunteers truly embodies what we at Battle Construction love about the game especially as it pertains to its new Foundation work, its outreach programs like SNAG (Students New At Golf) and its ForeSight Initiative, both of which expose students and economically disadvantaged youth to Golf and the core life values that go with it.
Lastly, we support the RDGA Scholarship Programs which provide scholarships to young students seeking higher education opportunities."
As the 2017 Golfing Season is ready to unfold, Battle Construction looks forward to its
Partnership with the RDGA and enhancing the Golf Experience for the Greater Rochester Golfing Community - and the Rochester District Golf Association is proud to welcome Battle Construction Co., Inc. as its newest Corporate Partner for 2017.
