Builders FirstSource (BFS) raised more than $1 million for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) in 2021 and has committed to contribute more than $1 million to select nonprofit organizations focused on emergency relief, disaster assistance, and serving veterans and their families.
The dealer’s contribution to LLS aids the organization’s mission to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease, and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families. In its support of LLS over the past 15 years, BFS has raised over $5.6 million for the nonprofit.
“We are so grateful for LLS’ efforts to cure blood cancer and the comfort the organization provides families during very challenging times, and are honored to support its cause,” Dave Flitman, BFS president and CEO, said in a news release. “Many of our own team members and their families have been impacted by blood cancer, and LLS is an organization that they and our industry partners and communities have championed over the years for the meaningful work it does. We look forward to the day cancer stops disrupting families altogether and believe LLS will play an integral role in finding a cure.”
BFS’ additional $1 million commitment will support a variety of charitable organizations, including the American Red Cross, BFS Cares, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, and Camp Southern Ground. BFS Cares, the dealer’s nonprofit entity, supports team members facing natural disasters. The Tunnel to Towers Foundation supports first responders, veterans, and their families by providing them with mortgage-free homes. Camp Southern Ground supports veterans and provides camp experiences for children, especially those with neurodevelopmental differences.
