While our NECA contractors compete with one another to win work, they also unite for a worthy cause. PayneCrest Electric and Guarantee Electrical recently played a charitable softball game to raise money for KIDstruction as part of a series of fundraisers for Children’s Hospital.  The bragging rights game was held at the Bridgeton Municipal Athletic Complex and it was an extra inning affair with Guarantee edging out PayneCrest in the 9^th inning but the kids at Children's Hospital are the real winners.  The event pushed the total amount raised for KIDstruction to well north of $700,000.  Guarantee CEO Rich Ledbetter started the KIDstruction program more than 12 years ago and it has raised nearly $6 million to date.  Learn more about KIDstruction.
