Community Service Award to Honor Builders ― Enter Now
 NAHB invites builders to submit entries for a new community service award that will recognize members for their generous philanthropic work. The National Housing Endowment Builder Achievement Award for Outstanding Community Service will honor builders who demonstrate an exceptional commitment to bettering their communities and promoting the spirit of giving so prevalent in the home building industry.
“The National Housing Endowment is proud to shine a light on the tremendous charity of home builders,” said Gary Garczynski, chairman of the National Housing Endowment, NAHB’s philanthropic arm, and 2002 NAHB president. “This new award will be a source of inspiration to our members and our industry and will highlight the often overlooked support and leadership home builders contribute to community service endeavors.”
The award, to be presented annually beginning with the 2006 International Builders’ Show in Orlando, Fla., will honor eight winners, including Gold, Silver, Bronze and five honorable mentions. Winners will receive a donation to the charity of their choice: $10,000 for Gold; $5,000 for Silver; $2,500 for Bronze; and $1,000 each to the honorable mentions.
“The National Housing Endowment Builder Achievement Award for Outstanding Community Service captures the true philosophy of Home Builders Care,” said Robert Mitchell, 2000 NAHB president, who made celebrating the philanthropic deeds of home builders a key focus during his tenure. “I can’t think of a better way to pay tribute to builders who turn that philosophy into action every day in their communities.”
