Builders FirstSource, Inc. (NYSE: BLDR) (“Builders FirstSource”
or the "Company"), the nation’s largest supplier of building
products, prefabricated components, and value-added services to the
professional market for new residential construction and repair and
remodeling, announced today that its annual Swing for the Cure golf
charity event raised more than $1.2 million for The Leukemia &
Lymphoma Society (LLS).
Held at TPC Las Colinas from May 31 to June 1, the achievement
marks a new record for the event and underscores Builders
FirstSource's commitment to supporting the fight against blood
cancer. Since its partnership with LLS began in 2006, the Company
has raised more than $9 million to fund critical research, patient
support, and advocacy programs aimed at advancing the treatment and
cure of blood cancer.
"We are humbled and grateful for the overwhelming support shown
by our customers and suppliers in helping us surpass the $1 million
mark,” said Dave Rush, CEO of Builders FirstSource. “Together, we
are making a tangible difference in the lives of patients and their
families."
The event featured former NFL star, cancer survivor,
best-selling author, and ESPN analyst Merril Hoge as its keynote
speaker. Guided by his ‘Find a Way,’ philosophy, Hoge inspired the
audience with his story of strength and perseverance in the face of
adversity, including his battle with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and
his strategies for overcoming obstacles to achieve one’s goals.
“We extend our gratitude to all those who celebrated, honored,
and remembered those affected by blood cancer," said Coker Powell,
LLS SVP and Chief Development Officer. "With the continued support
and generosity of Builders FirstSource and its partners, we can
work towards achieving a world without blood cancer. Their support
directly supports LLS’s mission: developing cutting-edge
treatments, offering crucial resources to patients and families on
their blood cancer journeys, and advocating for healthcare that any
patient can access and afford.”
