Hoar Construction Donates $12,000 to Austin Charity, Commits Volunteers for One Year

Austin, TX, November 23, 2014 --(PR.com)-- It was an evening of community as Hoar Construction hosted an open house on September 24th at Zilker Clubhouse to welcome new friends and colleagues and to celebrate their partnership with Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Texas (RMHC CTX).

Guests mingled and enjoyed local Texas beers, eats from Chi’Lantro BBQ and music by the Ryan DeSiato and the Peterson Brothers. The event drew more than 175 guests including local design and construction professionals, developers, and real estate professionals.

The Hoar Construction Community Foundation generously donated $5,000 to RMHC CTX and matched an additional $5,000 in donations from guests; the event generated over $12,300 for RMHC CTX.

Hoar Construction’s partnership with RMHC CTX embodies the company’s core values: family-orientation, stewardship, the relentless pursuit of improvement, and abidance of the golden rule – treating others as you wish to be treated. As an organization built on the simple idea that nothing else should matter when a family is focused on the health of their child, RMHC Central Texas puts these values into action every day when they care for families with critically ill or injured children.

“Living where we work is a win-win for clients and for us,” according to Brian Cook, Vice President, Texas Division. "This group of professionals has been working in Austin construction a long time and has a strong commitment to growing key partnerships within the AEC industry. As we expand our reach in Austin, I am confident this team will lead the charge in stewardship throughout their community."

Hoar Construction’s partnership with RMHC CTX goes beyond financial support. Not only is the firm inspiring other business and community leaders to get involved, Hoar employees will also visit RMHC CTX once a month for the next year to prepare lunch for the families using the facility.

“Working with organizations like Hoar Construction who want to go beyond check writing, always has a significant impact on RMHC CTX and the families we serve. We are thrilled to have Hoar Construction join the RMHC CTX,” according to Missy Strittmatter, Director of Development, RMHC Central Texas.
