Castletree Homes has tapped into its list of top-name vendors and trades to help construct a GHBA Benefit Home, a home that when sold, will benefit three important charities. Many of these vendors attended an appreciation luncheon in the community where the home is being constructed. Allpoints Surveying donated the meal for all of the guests.
“From the generosity of the developer who donates the lot, through all stages of construction and even the closing, it’s the donations of materials, labor and services that are key to making this 36 year old fundraiser a success. Castletree Homes, Land Tejas Companies, who donated the lot, and the GHBA wanted to thank each vendor and trade personally with a meal and an appreciation award.”Will Holder, 2016 Benefit Homes Committee Chair
Each year two homes are built for the Benefit Homes fundraiser with donated materials, labor and services from GHBA members. The homes are loaded with upgrades and amenities and sold at market value. Proceeds are donated to Texas Children’s Cancer Center, the Alzheimer’s Association and HomeAid Houston. Since the fundraiser began, more than $9 million has been raised.
Many of the vendors and trades were on-hand to accept their award and to tour the Benefit Home as it is nearing completion. Representatives from the three charities were also in attendance. Each expressed their appreciation to the vendors as well.
