In April, more than 2,000 delegates to North America’s Building Trades Unions (NABTU) 2015 Legislative Conference gathered in Washington, D.C.

At the opening general session on April 20th, the BAC New Jersey Administrative District Council (Locals 4 and 5 NJ) was recognized for its stellar fundraising efforts on behalf of the Diabetes Research Institute Foundation. Through its D.a.d.’s Day fundraising event last June, the NJ ADC donated a total of $23,750 to the Foundation’s cure-focused research. With this year’s donation, the ADC has contributed a total of $300,000 to DRI in the past 10 years.
