Beazer Homes has surpassed $10 million in total funds raised for Fisher House Foundation, marking a major milestone in a nearly decade-long philanthropic partnership supporting military and veteran families.
The Atlanta-based homebuilder said the contributions, driven by employees, partners, and its Beazer Charity Foundation, have helped provide approximately one million nights of free lodging for families while loved ones receive medical care. That impact is equivalent to housing roughly 15 families every night across all Fisher House locations for two consecutive years.
The partnership began in 2017 as a grassroots initiative centered around a single fundraising race and has since evolved into a nationwide employee-led program called Rock. Run. Raise! The initiative combines fundraising, volunteer work, and community engagement to support veterans and military families.
This year, more than 320 employees, partners, and guests traveled to Washington, D.C. to participate in a half-marathon and 5K event tied to the initiative. Participants covered their own travel and lodging expenses while also raising funds for the cause, underscoring the program’s employee-driven nature.
In addition to fundraising efforts, Beazer employees contributed 3,589 volunteer hours across 72 nonprofit organizations during a nationwide Day of Service held ahead of the race. While Fisher House remains the company’s primary philanthropic partner, employees also support broader initiatives focused on housing, health, youth development, and community services.
The company said the milestone reflects its broader commitment to corporate social responsibility and long-term community impact, particularly in supporting military families and veterans.
KEY QUOTES:
“Reaching $10 million is an incredible milestone, but what matters most is how we got here. This has been an employee-led effort from the beginning. It was not one campaign or one moment, but people across our company choosing, again and again, to show up. Whether that is training for the race, raising funds, or giving their time in the communities where we live and work, that collective commitment to service is what makes this partnership so meaningful and the impact so real for the military families Fisher House supports.”
Allan Merrill, Chairman And CEO Of Beazer Homes
“We are deeply grateful for Beazer Homes and the hundreds of employees and partners whose actions and generosity have made this milestone possible. Their commitment has had a tremendous impact, allowing military and veteran families to focus on healing and being together without the burden of housing costs.”
David Coker, President Of Fisher House Foundation
