Professional Compounding Centers of America (PCCA) has been awarded the 2025 Corporate Champion Award, part of the 41st Annual Governor’s Volunteer Awards. The award was presented by Governor Greg Abbott, First Lady Cecilia Abbott, and the OneStar Foundation in recognition of PCCA's over 30-year partnership with the Fort Bend Women’s Center (FBWC). This accolade acknowledges PCCA's dedication to volunteerism and philanthropy within Texas.

The Corporate Champion Award is given annually to a Texas corporation that actively engages in community service as an integral part of its business strategy. Recipients are noted for their commitment to long-term community engagement and collaborative solutions to local needs.

PCCA has partnered with FBWC since 2016, donating more than $400,000 and becoming the center's most active volunteer group. PCCA team members participate in various initiatives such as fundraising events, school supply drives, holiday toy collections, and back-to-school support. Many have also served on the FBWC board. Their efforts reflect PCCA's core values: “Care Deeply” and “Serve Always.”

FBWC nominated PCCA for this award due to its longstanding advocacy for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault in Fort Bend County. Leslie Wendland, FBWC Chief External Affairs Officer, expressed gratitude towards PCCA: “We are grateful to PCCA for their compassion, commitment and partnership.”

On April 23, 2025, representatives from PCCA attended the awards ceremony at the Texas Governor’s Mansion. Among those present were David Sparks, Bryan Sparks, Mollie Sparks, Jim Smith, Lizzie Harbin, Cyndi Hicks, Micheal Jones and Whitney Andrews.

Lizzie Harbin commented on receiving the award: “For over 30 years our relationship with the Fort Bend Women’s Center has been at the heart of PCCA’s mission to serve others.” She added that this honor recognizes team members who contribute their time and resources year after year.

The Governor’s Volunteer Awards highlight individuals or organizations whose service strengthens communities across Texas. The Corporate Champion Award specifically honors private-sector entities engaging employees in significant volunteer activities with measurable local impact.
