PERRYVILLE, MO, November 24, 2025 - The Robinson Construction Charitable Fund is proud to announce the distribution of $33,900 in grants to three vital community organizations serving Perry County and the surrounding region. This year’s beneficiaries—Missouri’s National Veterans Memorial, Backstoppers, and RecoVET—each received $11,300 to support their missions.

The funds were raised through Robinson Construction’s annual benefit golf tournament, Chip in for Charity, an event dedicated to strengthening local organizations through community and industry support. “Each year, Chip in for Charity reminds us what’s possible when our community and partners come together,” said Paul Findlay, CEO of Robinson Companies. “We’re honored to support organizations that make a real impact in the lives of veterans, first responders, and families throughout our region.”

Robinson Construction invites community members, sponsors, and partners to participate in next year’s Chip in for Charity tournament on Monday, September 28, 2026, and continue helping fuel the mission of these important organizations.

We are incredibly proud to share that Frank Robinson has been selected as a 2025 inductee into the Missouri Veterans Hall of Fame!

Frank served as an Infantry Platoon Leader in Vietnam from 1969–1971, returning home after being injured in combat. He went on to grow his family’s plumbing business into what is now Robinson Construction Company. Beyond business, Frank has devoted himself to supporting fellow veterans and giving back to the Perryville community.

From helping establish Missouri’s National Veterans Memorial to leading fundraising efforts through the Love Our Veterans Committee, Frank’s commitment to service never stopped. 

His leadership, humility, and patriotism continue to inspire everything we do. Congratulations, Frank—this honor is well deserved, and we are grateful every day for the legacy you’ve built.

The Robinson Construction Charitable Fund recently issued grants totaling $28,374 to three organizations that provide support to veterans in our community. Missouri’s National Veterans Memorial (MNVM), AMVETS, and Disabled American Veterans (DAV) each received a grant for $9,458. The grant funds were raised at the 2023 Robinson Construction benefit golf tournament, Chip in for Charity. The idea behind Chip in for Charity is to raise money and awareness for groups and charities that are near and dear to Robinson Construction and our community. Unfortunately, DAV was unable to send a representative for a photo, but their Executive Director, Cody VanBoxel said, “Many thanks to Robinson Construction for choosing to raise funds for DAV at your recent golf outing. Although we were unable to be there in person to thank you, I would like to express our immense gratitude on behalf of the organization. Your donation helps DAV serve even more ill and injured veterans and their families. We wish you all the best.” A big THANK YOU goes out to our loyal subcontractors, suppliers, customers, and business partners who participate in this event year after year. Mark your calendars for the next Chip in for Charity golf tournament, Monday, September 30, 2024.
