Community Involvement

As a company, we are committed to our community. All Members and employees are expected to volunteer their time and expertise throughout their employment to help support philanthropic efforts and create a strong community presence. At the end of the day our success is not just measured by our balance sheet, but our superior customer service and betterment of our community. As Tony Dungy, the former Super Bowl winning NFL Coach said, “If all we do is win Super Bowls, we have failed.” And the same holds true for Sky Blue Builders. If all we do is make money, we have failed if we have not bettered our community. Here are the philanthropic efforts we support:
