“We are pleased to support this fantastic event that is one of the foundation’s biggest fundraisers annually,” said Jack Cox, president of Halfacre Construction and president of Suncoast Charities for Children, the foundation’s parent organization. “We are dependent on fundraisers like this one to continue to lease our debt free buildings to non-profit organizations for no fee.
