Win Recognition for Your Community Service Work

State and local home builder associations that donate countless volunteer hours to Home Builders Care projects each year can receive recognition for their efforts through the Home Builders Care/National Housing Endowment Community Service Project of the Year Award.

To enter, submit an entry form, located on the NAHB Web site, accompanied by a two-page detailed description of the project. Press clippings, testimonials, pictures and other supporting materials may be submitted with your entry form.

Home builder associations are eligible to enter, and entries are due by Nov. 4.

The National Housing Endowment Board of Trustees will select the winner. Projects will be evaluated based on their benefit to the community, volunteer and member participation, and other criteria.

The winner will be recognized at the 2006 International Builders’ Show in Orlando, Fla., where the association will receive a $5,000 donation to a charity of its choice and a  recognition plaque
