Local builder helps community organizations and Builders Care
On Friday, Dec. 21, representatives from Lee Building Industry Association (BIA) Builders Care received an early Christmas present from Santa’s elves. The Aubuchon Team of Companies, led by Gary Aubuchon and Jeff Miloff, presented the group with a donation of $8,700 to help with emergency construction repairs for local homeowners in need. Amongst hugs and company VIPs, the Aubuchon Team of Companies presented the check to Wendi Carroll, vice president of Lee BIA Builders Care.
“We continue to be impressed with the services provided by Builders Care and their partners in the building industry, said Gary Aubuchon. “And we are excited to be a part of the team to help more families in our area.”
Each year, The Aubuchon Team of Companies hosts a fundraiser for local charities through its Helping Hands for the Holidays event. The 2012 holiday event raised over $26,000 for local charities. To date, The Aubuchon Team of Companies has donated nearly $30,000 over the past five years to help the Lee Building Industry Association (BIA) Builders Care program provide free home repair services to disadvantaged Lee County residents.
“This is such a wonderful surprise and an awesome commitment to the community, Builders Care and the industry,’’ said Heidi Taulman Builders Care executive director. Gary Aubuchon, president of The Aubuchon Team of Companies, serves on the board of directors for the Lee Building Industry Association as an ex-officio.
