Indianapolis, IN (May 17, 2018): The nation’s largest privately-held home builder celebrated more than 40 years of Building Dreams, Enhancing Lives by hosting the third annual David Weekley Homes World’s Largest Showcase of Homes. From April 1-30, more than 8,700 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 $43,000 for 19 local charities. In Indianapolis, nearly $1,300 was donated to Ronald McDonald House Charities® of Central Indiana.

“At the Ronald McDonald House, we are able to alleviate some of that emotional and financial burden for over 5,000 families a year so that they can focus on the health and well-being of their child,” said Michelle Study-Campbell, CEO of Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Indiana. “We are very thankful for partners like David Weekley Homes that help make this possible.”

The monetary gifts are one of the many ways David Weekley Homes lives out its purpose, Building Dreams, Enhancing Lives, in all the communities in which it builds. The builder joins with team members, homeowners and community partners to engage with communities to make a difference through volunteer and philanthropic efforts.

“Walking through the Ronald McDonald house and having the opportunity to see how our donation impacts those in need was both humbling and gratifying,” said April Sjoholm, marketing director in Indianapolis with David Weekley Homes.
