Seasons Catering & Venetian Catering owners, Thomas Kourgelis, Christos Gourmos, Mike Kourgelis, Jim Kourgelis, George Kourgelis and Carl Carfello, were the honorees at the 26th Annual Ball of P.G.E.I. (Pan Gregorian Enterprises inc.) of America Charitable Foundation which was held at The Venetian in Garfield, NJ.

More than 500 guests showed up for the big event that culminated another year of succesful activities and brought together old and new friends to celebrate and help those in need. The Foundation was established in 1987 as the charitable organization of Pan Gregorian Enterprises, Inc. and has eased the suffering of children with serious diseases. The organization’s charitable activities express the gratitude of the membership to their patrons and general public for supporting their diners and restaurants.

The Foundation has succeeded over the years to donate over $1,000,000 to the following organizations: W.T.C. Relief fund of Victims 9_11; Greek Children’s Fund at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center; Tomorrow’s Children’s Fund at Hackensack hospital; Cyprus Children’s Fund; Deborah Hospital- Heart and Lung Center; Ronald McDonald House; St. Basil’s Academy; Pan Epirotic Federation of America, Canada and Australia; Rutgers University; Earthquake Victims; B’nai B’rith Foundation; St. Michael’s Home for the Aged and other charitable causes.

P.G.E.I. of American Charitable Foundation President James Logothetis could not make it to the event this time, having to fly overseas for a family emergency, and Pan Gregorian Enterprises President George Siamboulis offered welcoming remarks and thanked the participants for their support. Paul Kotrotsios, founder of Hermes Expo, was the Master of Ceremonies and entertainment was provided by Stavros Theodorou and Orchestra. Protopresbyter Anargyros Stavropoulos offered the Invocation.

Pan Gregorian Enterprises, Inc. (PGE) is a Food service Cooperative which was formed by Greek American restaurant owners. PGE began in New Jersey, but with success, the concept quickly expanded to Metro New York & Long Island, Upper New York and Connecticut.

PGE has just one goal in mind, to assist the independent diner/restaurant owner by negotiating the lowest cost and ensuring the highest quality for the food served and supplies used by the member. It combines the purchasing power of hundreds of independent operators and negotiates on their behalf with national brands, manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers, and local service providers for better pricing, services, and rebates.

Pan Gregorian Enterprises headquarters is located at 629 Springfield Rd, Union, NJ and the phone number is (908) 624-0250.
