Nominations Sought to Support Veterans in
Need of Roof Replacement
Beacon (Nasdaq: BECN), the leading publicly-traded wholesale
distributor specializing in roofing, waterproofing and exterior
products, is seeking nominations for its annual Beacon of Hope.
This North American program has been expanded to award new roofs at
no cost to 12 Veteran-owned homes and two community buildings that
house organizations serving Veterans. This is also the first year
that Gold Star Families are welcome as nominees. Gold Star Families
have experienced the loss of an immediate family member who made
the ultimate sacrifice during active-duty military service, and
Beacon is extending the promise of a sound roof to Gold Star
Families in need.
Now in its sixth year, Beacon of Hope is part of Beacon’s
commitment to Building Better for its Communities. The program is
open to all military Veterans in the U.S. and Canada. Together with
local roofing companies, Beacon will deliver and fully fund a safe,
durable roof for 12 residential winners and two community
buildings. The new roof will feature TRI-BUILT® products, Beacon’s
private label brand, and products from CertainTeed. Since launching
the program in 2018, Beacon has installed over 50 roofs so that our
Veterans have a sound roof at their home.
“We proudly stand by our Veterans, honoring their service and
dedication to our country, which is why it’s our privilege to go
further this year by supporting more veterans and including Gold
Star Families,” said Jonathan Bennett, Beacon’s Chief Commercial
Officer. “We created the Beacon of Hope program to ensure these
Veterans have a high-quality roof over their heads. We are humbled
to partner with local communities and industry partners like
CertainTeed to help build a brighter future for Veterans and urge
the public to honor deserving Veterans in their community by
nominating them for an opportunity to receive a new roof.”
From August 15 through October 4, 2024, the public can nominate
a U.S. or Canadian Veteran or Gold Star Family at the Beacon of
Hope website or by submitting an e-mail to beaconofhope@becn.com. A
panel will select 12 grand-prize residential and two community
winners and announce the deserving winners on Veteran’s Day,
Monday, November 11th.
