BENEFIT HOMES PROJECT—"A Home for Good"


Castletree Homes and GHBA Break Ground in Miramesa


N 18


Numerous GHBA members including ven- dors and trades, gathered at the homesite to help mark the official groundbreaking of a second GHBA Benefit Home for 2015. Castletree Homes led the ceremony on a lot in the new 600 acre Canyon Gate community of Miramesa. Castletree Homes is donating construction management and Land Tejas Co. is donating the homesite.


Each year two to three homes are built for the Benefit Homes Project with do- nated land, construction management, materials, labor and services by GHBA members. These homes are constructed with upgraded materials and features,


then sold at market value. The majority of the proceeds from the sale are donated to three charities. The beneficiaries are Texas Children’s Cancer Center, the Alzheimer’s Association and HomeAid Houston. Since the project began 35 years ago, more than $9 million has been raised.


On-hand for the ground breaking were rep- resentatives from the entire Benefit Homes team. They included: Todd Atwood, pres- ident of Castletree Homes; Jeff Sheehan, amenity project manager for Miramesa; Peter Houghton, 2015 Benefit Home committee chairman; Kevin Frankel, president of the GHBA; Greg Tomlinson,


president of HomeAid Houston; Kelly McCann, Alzheimer’s Association; Dr. Ernest Fruge, Baylor College of Medicine & Texas Children’s Cancer &. Hematology Centers; and special guests Boyce and Amy LeJeune and their two children, Paige and Travis.


Amy LeJeune spoke at the ceremony about their daughter Paige’s cancer fight and the medical and emotional support provided by Texas Children’s Cancer Center.


Other guests also included Castletree staff, GHBA board members, HomeAid board members and dozens of vendors and trades who are donating their materials and labor to the construction of the home.
