Gaines & Company recieves National Award
Operation Coming Home wins 3 awards
Fuquay-Varina, North Carolina – November 30, 2009 – Operation Coming Home wins Best Community Project in the State, Best Community Spirit in the Region, and Best Community Spirit in the Nation!
The Home Builders Association of Raleigh-Wake County joined forces with the Triangle Real Estate and Construction Veterans and the Armed Forces Foundation to create a Military Veterans Task Force.
Our Mission was to aid a local military service member and his or her family who was recently wounded in combat by helping the family live the American Dream of owning their own home—thus the creation of Operation: Coming Home.
In 2008, Royal Oaks Building Group, Atreus Homes, and Gaines and Company built a new home for SGT Joey Bozik, a wounded soldier of the 16thMilitary Police, who was injured in Iraq. The purpose of this project was to provide SGT Bozik with a home that was custom built to his precise needs and to better his quality of life. It was equipped with zero threshold floors, wider doorways, custom shower, special ramps, sprinkler system, and a custom kitchen with appliances set to accommodate someone in a wheelchair to name a few.
This project started with a groundbreaking ceremony on May 30, 2008 in the Southern Oaks subdivision where Gaines and Company had donated the land. This wonderful new home was completed on October 27, 2008 with a huge military-style Extreme Makeover event called Operation: Coming Home’s Alive Day. The Alive Day Key Ceremony began with a parade and military performances.
On Monday, October 27, 2008 the keys to the home were parachuted and presented to the Bozik family by the Army Black Daggers, a Special Forces Parachute Team. At the end of Operation: Coming Home with the crowd cheering and crying with joy, SGT Joey Bozik finally came home.
On Tuesday, January 19, 2010 the Operation Coming Home Team will accept the award for Best Community Spirit in the Nation at “The Nationals Awards” in Las Vegas, Nevada.
