The HBA DOC Foundation has awarded over $360,000 to area students pursuing a career in the trades since the Foundation was established in 1997. The HBA Foundation Board of Directors works as a separate entity of the larger association. "What our HBA decided to do in the '90s is something to be very proud of," says Mitch Barron of DRB Homes, the HBA DOC Foundation Board Chair. "We awarded our first scholarships in 1995 and incorporated the Foundation as a charitable organization in 1997. With over $360K bestowed, we were addressing our labor shortage decades before other HBA's in the country, and now we're again way in front of the pack through our charter school."

HBA CEO and Foundation Executive Director Holly Fraccaro shares, "I could not be more proud to serve the HBA of Durham, Orange & Chatham Counties and its Foundation. The

charitable spirit of this association continues to amaze me! The new addition of our Building Our Future Summer Careers Academy is a perfect example of the HBA DOC members' dedication to our mission. So very grateful!"
