BrandMortgage and Community Sustainability Enterprise Partner with BrandBank, Credit Plus and McMichael & Gray to Achieve Home Ownership for Single-Parent Families
Lawrenceville, Georgia (PRWEB) November 03, 2016 -- BrandMortgage, the industry-leading full-service lender offering a suite of mortgage financing options, is proud to announce an upcoming partnership with Community Sustainability Enterprise (CSE) to provide affordable, sustainable home ownership for families in Gwinnett, GA. Spearheaded by Greg Shumate, CEO of BrandMortgage, and Deirdra Cox, President of CSE, the two organizations are proud to partner for a second time on a Habitat for Humanity home build in 2017 to make a difference in the life of a hard-working, single-parent family and the community at large.
BrandMortgage's parent company, BrandBank, has proudly stepped up to sponsor the first Build Day, taking place on November 5, 2016, which will begin the process of providing a home for a well-deserving family. The site will be in Gwinnett county and employees from the bank and athletes from local Meadowcreek High School will team together to provide 15 volunteers for this event.
The second Build Day will take place on November 12. This day is being sponsored by both Credit Plus and McMichael & Gray, with each entity sharing the cost of the build in order to help provide a family with the home of their dreams. Both companies are providing volunteers and are also partnering with Meadowcreek High School athletes in their community service initiatives.
The final phase of this collaboration will take place over several days in January. Shared by BrandMortgage, McMichael & Gray and the Meadowcreek Athletic Department, these days will consist of furnishing and decorating the new home to prepare for presentation to the lucky family. This phase will be part of an innovative youth leadership program that both BrandMortgage and CSE have built expressly with the athletes of Meadowcreek High School in mind. It will be an essential piece of the community service requirement that itself has become the heart of the program. Meadowcreek Athletic Department volunteers (including football players, staffers and more) will participate in each day.
"BrandMortgage and Community Sustainability Enterprise demonstrate and champion corporate social responsibility as it relates to affordable homeownership and youth leadership development," said Greg Shumate, CEO and Managing Partner of BrandMortgage. "Partnering again with former Atlanta Falcons football great Warrick Dunn and his organization on a 2017 project is another compelling example of these efforts."
Deirdra Cox adds, “A collaborative effort with Warrick Dunn Charities and Habitat for Humanity is an expansion of the BrandMortgage Community Development network of like-minded business professionals. We welcome our inaugural partners, Credit Plus, Randall Brown and McMichael & Gray, Randy McMichael and Katie Fish.”
The upcoming home build and corporate partnerships with organizations like Warrick Dunn Charities and Habitat for Humanity, are just a few of the many examples of how seriously BrandMortgage takes its position not only as an industry leader, but as a change agent within the communities in which it operates. Similarly, this project is at the core of Community Sustainability Enterprise’s mission and values.
