David Weekley Homes Celebrates Fourth Annual Nationwide Event by Giving Back
Home builder donates $36,000 to local charities
Minneapolis, MN (May 16, 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 the Twin Cities, more than $350 was donated to Ronald McDonald House Charities, Upper Midwest.
“We are so thankful to David Weekley Homes for choosing the Ronald McDonald House Charities, Upper Midwest as the beneficiary for this year’s Showcase of Homes event,” said Libby Myhran, community engagement coordinator with Ronald McDonald House Charities, Upper Midwest. “This generous support will help us to serve over 6,600 families with a seriously ill or injured child at our four Twin Cities locations.”
This donation is one of the many ways David Weekley Homes lives out its purpose of Building Dreams, Enhancing Lives, joining with team members, homeowners and community partners across the nation to make a difference through volunteer and philanthropic efforts.
“After having such great support and turnout in April, the team was able to present our check and cook a lunch for guests of the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Charleston,” said Sarah Kemp, division coordinator from David Weekley Homes in Charleston. “Seeing the home and hearing the stories really brings what we do full circle.”
