The Kent Companies Proudly Supports Permian Basin Rehab Center with Record-Breaking Donation

Posted on by kentoil in Community, Latest News, news

To start a wonderful year of giving back The Kent Companies has presented the Permian Basin Rehab Center (PBRC) with a check for an astounding $110,000! This generous donation marks the largest contribution we’ve ever made to PBRC, and we couldn’t be prouder.

At The Kent Companies, we believe in the power of community and the importance of giving back to those who support us. That’s why we’re dedicated to supporting local organizations like PBRC, which play vital roles in improving the lives of individuals and families in our area.

The $110,000 donation was made possible through the incredible generosity of our guests who participated in our change roundup program at local Kent Kwik locations. Over the first three months of the year, guests had the opportunity to round up their change with each purchase, and their small contributions added up to make a huge impact.

It’s moments like these that remind us of the strength of our community and the difference we can make when we come together for a common cause. PBRC’s annual telethon on Saturday, April 27th, served as the perfect occasion to present this check and celebrate the incredible work being done by PBRC.

PBRC plays a vital role in providing essential services and support to individuals with disabilities and special needs, as well as their families. From physical therapy to speech therapy and beyond, PBRC’s comprehensive programs make a meaningful difference in the lives of countless individuals each year.

We’re honored to support PBRC in its mission and to contribute to the important work they do. As a family-owned and operated business, The Kent Companies remains committed to making a positive impact in the communities we serve.

We extend our deepest gratitude to our guests who helped make this donation possible, as well as to the dedicated team at PBRC for their tireless efforts in serving our community. Together, we’re making a difference, one donation at a time.

Thank you for your continued support, and here’s to a brighter future for all!
