Mark Your Calendars For Exterior Wall Quality Assurance

Virtual 5K a Success!
To our Teammates, Sponsors, Cheerleaders & Supporters,
Thank you for making this event a success. We were able to raise $1,873 for Comfort Zone Camp. The event raised more than $143K nationally!
I can’t speak for our 23 team members and their races, but I did run an embarrassingly slow 5k! I know I won’t find any sympathy for my excuse but I did run it on the beach…during high tide–so on the softest sand, and during a mini heatwave of 78F 🙂
