Indianapolis, IN (May 16, 2017): The nation’s largest privately-held home builder celebrated more than 40 years of Building Dreams, Enhancing Lives by hosting David Weekley Homes World’s Largest Showcase of Homes. From April 1-30, more than 9,100 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, 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 Showcase of Homes, amounting to more than $45,000 for 18 local charities. In Raleigh, nearly $1,150 was donated to Ronald McDonald House of Chapel Hill.

“We were very excited to partner with David Weekley Homes again,” said George Marut, senior director of development with Ronald McDonald House of Chapel Hill. “We are so thankful for all they have given and helped with at our location.”

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.

“Being able to volunteer my time to prepare a comforting meal to folks who are going through on of the hardest times of their lives is very rewarding,” said Jason Schurr, a warranty representative with David Weekley Homes. “We hope to shed a little light on what these families are going through.”
