Charlotte, NC (May 24, 2016): One way the nation’s largest privately-held homebuilder has celebrated its 40th anniversary is by hosting David Weekley Homes World’s Largest Parade of Homes. From April 1-30, more than 7,200 visitors stopped by model or showcase homes across the country to see current innovations in design and décor trends. As part of the company’s charitable and philanthropic efforts, local nonprofit organizations received a donation in honor of this milestone.
A $5 donation was given to a local nonprofit organization for each visitor who registered with a sales consultant during David Weekley Homes World’s Largest Parade of Homes, amounting to more than $36,000 for 19 local charities. In Charlotte, more than $850 was donated to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Charlotte.
“We are thrilled with David Weekly’s support of Big Brothers Big Sisters – thank you for what you are doing to support us and the entire community,” said Douglas Hartjes, CFRE Vice President of Development. “It is inspiring to see your good works in action and the impact you are making. Mostly, thank you for making a difference in a child’s life. It is a gift that will make a positive change for the rest of their lives!”
The monetary gifts are an initiative of the company’s CARE program that joins team members with homeowners, homebuyers, community partners and local nonprofit organizations to live out its purpose, Building Dreams, Enhancing Lives in all the communities in which it builds. This is accomplished by team members volunteering countless hours to different organizations in their communities and by The David Weekley Family Foundation donating more than $100 million to a variety of organizations throughout the U.S. and abroad over the past 20 years.
“Something so small as walking into a David Weekley model home turned into something so big,” said KaCee Wood, design center coordinator and Charlotte CARE council member for David Weekley Homes. “It was such an eye-opening and inspiring gesture to be a part of presenting the donation check from David Weekley Homes World’s Largest Parade of Homes campaign, which created a donation large enough to support a ‘little’ in the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Charlotte. There’s no greater feeling than knowing you’re a part of a company that gives back, and it just so happens that this giving back is about to impact a ‘little’ and help shape their future by someone simply walking into a model home.
