David Weekley Homes Celebrates More Than 40 Years by Giving Back

David Weekley Homes team members in Phoenix present a donation to Ronald McDonald House Charities of Phoenix as part of the company’s CARE initiative.

Phoenix, AZ (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 Phoenix, more than $1,500 was donated to Ronald McDonald House Charities® of Phoenix.

“We are deeply appreciative of the thoughtful and often unexpected donation of time and money generated by third-party events and the support of companies like David Weekley Homes that help us provide a home-away-from home for our families," said Nancy Roach, Ronald McDonald House Charities Executive Director.

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.

“I am proud to work for a company that strives to enhance the lives of others in need with events like the Showcase of Homes,” said Dino Argento, lead warranty service manager at David Weekley Homes in Phoenix.
