PRA GROUP WINS COVA BIZ COMMUNITY IMPACT AWARD

PRA Group has been honored by CoVa Biz Magazine as a recipient of its Community Impact Award. The Community Impact Award recognizes Coastal Virginia companies making a tangible, measurable impact on their communities through job creation, workforce development programs, volunteer efforts, or innovative business models. PRA Group was selected for its philanthropic efforts, including millions of dollars in donations and sponsorships, and its employee volunteerism. This year, the PRA Group Volunteer program contributed more than 593 community service hours to the Coastal Virginia area.

“We are proud to be recognized for our commitment and enthusiasm for serving the Hampton Roads community,” said Kevin Stevenson, president and chief executive officer. “Ever since our founding, right here in Norfolk, we’ve been focused on making a difference in this area and I thank our employees for prioritizing giving back.”

Since PRA Group opened its doors in 1996, the company has earned dozens of awards for its company culture and growth, community involvement, and philanthropic giving. This year, PRA Group received Inside Business’s Roaring 20’s award for one of the most dynamic businesses in Hampton Roads, and has been designated an Outstanding Corporation from the Association of Fundraising Professionals Hampton Roads Chapter.
