Fundraising & Community Involvement
Banton realizes the importance of giving back to our community and to those in need. Throughout its history, Banton and its employees have been involved in charitable giving to local, state, national and international non-profit organizations.
Over the years, Banton has hosted various fundraising events which have been successful in raising funds for a foundation dedicated to finding a cure for a disabling bone disease. This rare disorder struck one of Banton's employee's at the age of 16. Banton funds the entire event so that 100 percent of all proceeds directly benefit the International FOP Association (www.ifopa.org). This funding then benefits research currently being undertaken at the University Of Pennsylvania School of Medicine in relation to the rare genetic disorder known as Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva.
Banton's most recent fundraisers were hosted for four additional Banton employees. In 2007, Banton held a benefit for one of its employees who was struck with a rare illness at the age of 22. In 2008, the firm supported a memorial fundraiser for an employee who had passed away. In 2009, the firm held a fundraiser for yet another employee whose young son was diagnosed with autism. In 2010, Banton supported another employee in his personal mission to raise money for diabetes research. As reaching out to assist those in need has grown to be Banton's tradition, 100 percent of proceeds directly benefitted the employee and their personal medical expenses.
Banton's unique method of fundraising has proved to be quite successful. Banton funds the entire event, paying for all costs and expenditures. This enables 100 percent of all proceeds to go directly to the charitable organization or entity. Unlike many charities and fundraisers where only a small portion of the earnings go to the actual cause, each and every penny that donors choose to give goes directly to the entity or individual.
While raising money is certainly a goal during these fundraising endeavors, Banton places great value in enabling the community to support an individual or organization in need during difficult times. Additionally, Banton's fundraising events have drawn a host of guest speakers from the political and medical fields, all of whom have attended and delivered a positive message in support of the cause.
Because of our past success in helping causes and individuals close to our hearts, Banton has made a commitment as follows: Each and every year, Banton will host a fundraising event. The entity to benefit from the fundraiser will change on a yearly basis. Those who know of an individual or organization in need of assistance should contact Banton Construction in order to be considered as a potential candidate.
Banton genuinely thanks its employees, clients, friends and family members who have been a part of our past endeavors – those who have generously donated their time, their expertise, and their financial resources – for without their help our success would not be possible.
Banton encourages those interested in being considered as a fundraising candidate or assisting in our ongoing fundraising efforts to contact us at 203-234-2353 or by email at hpullano@bantonconstruction.com.
