Phoenix, Arizona-based Willmeng Construction recently gathered more than 150 clients and trade partners for a round of golf that will have a lasting impact on one Arizona nonprofit organization. Through its annual Builders Cup golf tournament, Willmeng raised funds for Treasure House, an organization founded by Kurt and Brenda Warner, that serves adults with developmental disabilities. This year’s effort to gather industry colleagues together to support a nonprofit through direct, tax-deductible donations outpaced the previous year’s event, raising more than $300,000 for the local organization.
Treasure House Phoenix provides a supportive community and personalized plans for young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities to achieve independence and purpose. They offer community-based housing and services, skill development, connections and vocational opportunities. To maintain affordability for residents who only pay $3,800 monthly, significantly less than the actual cost, Treasure House relies heavily on fundraising efforts like the Builders Cup to cover the remaining expenses and scholarship each resident approximately $50,000 annually.
A special thanks also goes to the host course for the event, The Phoenician. The day included breakfast, a round of golf and an awards dinner that included several major raffle prizes, including an 85 inch television, Ooni pizza oven and autographed sports memorabilia. There were also prizes for longest drive and a hole-in-one hole, where anyone who hit a hole-in-one would’ve won a new BMW.
