Dallas, TX (May 22, 2019): The nation’s largest privately-held home builder celebrated more than 40 years of Building Dreams, Enhancing Lives by hosting the fourth annual David Weekley Homes World’s Largest Showcase of Homes. From April 1-30, more than 7,200 visitors stopped by model or quick move-in homes across the country to see current innovations in design and décor trends.
As part of the company’s charitable and philanthropic efforts, a $5 donation was given to a local nonprofit for each visitor who registered with a sales consultant during the month-long Showcase of Homes event, amounting to more than $36,000 for 20 local charities. In Dallas/Ft. Worth, nearly $6,500 was donated to Ronald McDonald House of Dallas.
“Ronald McDonald House Dallas is so grateful to be the beneficiary of David Weekly Homes 2019 Showcase of Homes,” said Diane Fullingim, chief development office Ronald McDonald House of Dallas. “The more than $6,400 gift will pay for the operating expenses of a family guest room for 50 nights.”
