OPERATION Military Cheer 2016
It’s time to kickoff Operation Military Cheer for the Kentucky National Guard!
Home Builders Association of Lexington and their philianthropic group, Home Builders Care, invite Central Kentucky to help provide for 500+ military families across the state through the Operation Military Cheer fundraiser and toy drive.
Last year, thanks to generous support, Home Builders Care OPERATION: Military Cheer was able to serve these families via 16 distribution centers across the state.
We are in need of NEW UNWRAPPED TOYS or cash donations that will go toward purchasing coats, clothes, and shoes for those in need.
Rector Hayden REALTORS® is honored to support this fundraiser each holiday season, and it could not be done with out the generous efforts by our very own Don Sullivan.
Donations can be dropped off at the Rector Hayden REALTORS® Lexington Office during business hours. Our staff and agents will make sure that donations are submitted and gifts are kept safe.
To update you on our progress—Home Builders Care will be breaking ground on another new home for a well deserving family in early 2017 with the dedication planned for Veterans Day. Home Builders Care Appreciates everyone’s support of our programs!
Home Builders Care is the Registered 501(c)3 Arm of the Home Builders Association of Lexington
