McCarthy Heart Hats Seeks Non-Profit Applicants to Receive Proceeds from Annual Golf Tournament

PHOENIX – McCarthy Heart Hats, the community involvement arm of McCarthy Building Companies, Inc., is seeking non-profit applicants to receive the proceeds from its annual golf tournament, which is hosted every December.

This year, in light of the economy, the McCarthy Heart Hats Golf Tournament proceeds will be dedicated to those non-profits that support children and families experiencing dramatic economic need, and more than one organization may be selected as a recipient. Maricopa County 501(c)3 non-profit organizations are invited to apply for the funds now until Sept.1 using the Heart Hats Grant Application found on http://www.mccarthy.com/locations/phoenix/, or at: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=la6HlzF5G0R74pb7mefMYQ_3d_3d

The McCarthy Heart Hats community outreach program is dedicated to ensuring real community needs are being met through hands-on activities and financial support. Last year alone, more than $1 million in financial support, in-kind and hands-on building contributions were made through McCarthy’s Heart Hats program. Prior recipients of Heart Hats grants include Habitat for Humanity Central Arizona, the Salute a Soldier Foundation, Gabriel’s Angels, Tempe/Kyrene Communities in Schools and Crisis Nursery.

“We are continually looking for ways to put this money to good use in the community,” said Bo Calbert, president of McCarthy’s Southwest Region. “Our team is even more energized this year because so many nonprofits are in desperate need of funding. We feel privileged to be able to give back especially in difficult economic times.”

The McCarthy Heart Hats community outreach program is dedicated to encouraging, supporting and recognizing McCarthy employees’ volunteer efforts in a variety of causes to ensure real needs are being met in communities where employees work, live and play. McCarthy employees are as passionate about building better communities as they are about construction. In addition to the annual McCarthy Heart Hats golf tournament, McCarthy employees are also encouraged to take part in community outreach individually and through company-sponsored activities, including a company-wide paid volunteer day.
