More than 300 Builders Exchange members relaxed on the BX back lawn Sept. 10 for the annual Open House and Silent Auction.

This end-of-summer tradition featured a silent auction that raised $12,300 for the Builders Exchange Foundation and a barbecue dinner served by the boards of the BX and BXF.

Now in its 10th year, the foundation supports local programs in workforce development, industry image enhancement, expanded education opportunities and improved industry business practices in construction.

Two current foundation projects are the BX Scholarship Program, which awarded nearly $50,000 to college students this year alone, and the Rising Leaders Institute, a year-long leadership program for young managers to develop business and leadership skills.

“The results of the Silent Auction were amazing – and especially gratifying given the difficult economy we’re all operating in,” said Cathy Blackford, BX executive director.  “Of course, these challenging times make the need of those we serve even greater, so many thanks to the members for all their support.”

For more information about the Builders Exchange Foundation, contact Cathy Blackford at the Exchange, or visit the BXF website.
