Taylor Morrison Channels Support for Two Charities

July 11, 2011 - PRLog -- Taylor Morrison’s West Florida division is pleased to announce its support of two non-profit organizations as part of its corporate mission to support the communities it serves.

The company will participate in the “Change for St. Jude Kids” drive to benefit the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. All sales offices, model homes and the division headquarters in Sarasota will serve as donation centers. The company will also sponsor office contests and special dress code days to encourage employee contributions. The collection drive will run through June 30, 2011.

In addition, Taylor Morrison supports Habitat for Humanity and has made a donation of furnishings valued at more than $11,000, including office and household furniture, lighting fixtures and wall art.

“We have a firm commitment as a company to support the communities where we live and work,” said Steve Kempton, division president of Taylor Morrison West Florida. “Both of these charities represent worthy causes, and we are pleased to have the opportunity to work with them.”
