UDN Raises $27,000 for Pluta Cancer Foundation at 8th Annual Golf Tournament
ROCHESTER, N.Y., Nov. 12, 2025 – More than 130 golfers played for a cause on Oct. 6 at UDN General Construction‘s 8th Annual Golf Tournament at Penfield Country Club.
Together, participants and sponsors raised $27,000 for Pluta Cancer Foundation, a nonprofit that provides access to care for patients of Pluta Cancer Center in Henrietta.
“The amount of support we receive each year for this tournament has been nothing short of incredible,” said Nick Charvella, principal at UDN. “The way the community comes together for an organization that’s had such a strong impact in Rochester and has made such a positive difference in my personal life, for my family, is a special thing.”
Event participants enjoyed 18 holes of golf, a buffet style dinner reception, raffle prizes and 50/50s, plus chances for player prizes.
Proceeds from the tournament every year directly benefit Pluta, and this year’s donation is UDN’s largest yet. UDN has donated a total of $137,000 to Pluta since the tournament’s inception.
“We are so grateful for UDN’s commitment to our mission and for all the work they put into this tournament,” said Dawn Stever, president and CEO at Pluta Cancer Foundation. “The team’s generosity, heart, and leadership make them a true partner in our support of patients and families when they need it most.”
UDN would like to extend a heartfelt ‘thank you’ to all sponsors, participants, and volunteers.
