FORT MYERS, Fla. - eTradeWire -- Lee BIA Builders Care, the nonprofit charitable arm of the Lee Building Industry Association (BIA), has received a donation of $100,000 from Lennar's Southwest Florida Division.

Funds will support the nonprofit in its mission of providing emergency construction services at no cost to needy and deserving elderly and/or disabled homeowners, and their families, who cannot obtain repairs through traditional means in Lee County.

"Lennar is one of our longest-standing community partners and we are so appreciative of their continued support," said Leigh Cloud, executive director of Lee BIA Builders Care. "This generous gift is one of many incredible examples of their dedication to our organization and the community at-large, and we cannot thank them enough for believing in Builders Care and for their commitment to serving local families in need."

Lennar first joined forces with Builders Care in 2005 to support a home renovation project for homeowner Michael English, and has been a regular supporter of the nonprofit's ongoing projects and events. To date, Lennar has donated approximately $500,000 to benefit Lee BIA Builders Care and its mission, in addition to providing hundreds of volunteer hours to support special home renovation projects for families served through Builders Care.
