Builders Care, the nonprofit charitable arm of the Lee Building Industry Association (BIA), recently honored its partnerships with local governments in recognition of their service and commitment to Southwest Florida’s elderly and individuals with disabilities and their families.
Builders Care hit a milestone completing over $2 Million in construction services in November 2012 and celebrated it by recognizing their corporate and community partners and volunteers.
Lee BIA Builders Care president, Butch Ritter said, “Through this partnership, Builders Care has worked very closely with all departments in Lee County and City of Fort Myers Community Development and want to acknowledge that staff in all departments – Planning, Building, Permitting, Inspections and Code Enforcement. They have played an integral role in the process of helping local citizens in need.”
“We are so blessed to have the hands on support of so many individuals and companies,” said Heidi Taulman, executive director, of Lee BIA Builders Care. “We simply could not do it without their continued support.”
