Local Chapter Among Top Charitable Contractors' Groups, Receives Second-Annual AGC in the Community Award
The Master Builders of Iowa was among five contractors' chapters nationwide to be awarded for their charitable efforts last year, the AGC Charities announced today. The group won the AGC in the Community Award for its support of the Hubble Construction's 9 Homes in 9 Days project, which built nine homes for needy Des Moines-area families.
"Just because contractors do hard work doesn't mean they don't have soft hearts," said Tom Brown, chair of AGC Charities, which sponsors the awards program. "These awards highlight the role our industry plays in building better communities and better lives for neighbors and the needy."
Brown added that the AGC in the Community Awards were established last year to recognize the outstanding charitable and philanthropic efforts of the association's 95 chapters. Winners are selected by the board members of AGC Charities, Inc, Brown added.
The other four chapters awarded for their philanthropic activities were Associated Contractors of New Mexico for raising $100,000 for the Wounded Warriors program; the Arizona Builders Alliance for helping renovate Compass Behavior Health Center and the Mesa Association of Sports for the Disabled gymnasium; Georgia Branch AGC for its Operation Home Front work repairing a wounded veteran's home; and TEXO for raising funds for the Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children and donated food, toys and bikes for local charities.
