Veterans Build 2025 to Support Local Heroes
Annual campaign unites community in building and repairing homes for veterans across Palm Beach County
PALM BEACH COUNTY, FL (October 26, 2025): Habitat for Humanity of Greater Palm Beach County is proud to announce Veterans Build 2025, presented by Vertical Bridge, taking place Friday, November 7, 2025. This annual event continues Habitat’s steadfast commitment to honoring and supporting those who have served our nation.
Veterans Build is an annual fundraiser and day of service that supports veterans and active-duty service members in Palm Beach County through affordable homeownership and home revitalization projects. This year’s event will feature a variety of projects benefiting local veterans and their families across Palm Beach County. Job sites include work in Jupiter, Riviera Beach, West Palm Beach, and Boynton Beach, all designed to ensure that every veteran has a safe, stable, and dignified place to call home. This year’s event is once again presented by Vertical Bridge, a longtime partner and supporter of Habitat for Humanity of Greater Palm Beach County.
“Vertical Bridge is honored to continue our meaningful and significant partnership with Habitat for Humanity of Greater Palm Beach County for the 2025 Veterans Build,” said Ron Bizick, President and CEO of Vertical Bridge. “We’re proud to mark our eighth consecutive year supporting this initiative, which not only provides safe, affordable homes for veterans – it also reinforces the strength and resilience of the communities we’re proud to be part of. We are grateful for the opportunity to give back to those who have given so much for us.”
Returning to lead this year’s efforts are Co-Chairs Michael Maglio and Clint Rowe, joined by their wives, Tiffany Maglio and Rose Lowe, who bring their passion and leadership to the 2025 event. They are supported by a dedicated Veterans Build Committee of community leaders and advocates including Art Roffey, Gail Danto (Honorary Co-Chairs), Anne Desormier-Cartwright, Julia Dattolo, Ryan Paton (Committee Reserves), Andrew Filauro, Anta Plowden, Anthony Nastase, Ashley Carroll, Carey Clarke, Chad Ryan, Debbie Meyers, Donna Kerner, Ivan Rosa, Joel Villahermosa, Jon Raybuck, Justin List, Nelie Shah, Nicholas Cannon, Rahul Sudhakar, and Shane Kelly. Together, this group is helping raise critical funds and awareness to ensure local veterans and their families have access to safe, stable, and affordable housing.
The day of service will culminate in the American Dream BBQ, a community celebration honoring veterans and recognizing the collective impact of participants, sponsors, and volunteers. Guests will enjoy live music, entertainment, and a BBQ lunch while connecting with fellow changemakers. Community members and businesses are encouraged to join us at the event from 12:00 – 2:00 PM on Friday, November 7, held at the Intracoastal Park and Clubhouse in Boynton Beach. Tickets are $50, and your contribution goes towards Veterans Build 2025, helping local veterans achieve and maintain the American dream of homeownership.
“Veterans Build is about serving those who bravely served our nation,” said Jennifer Thomason, President and CEO of Habitat for Humanity of Greater Palm Beach County. “It’s an opportunity for our community to come together, honor their service, and ensure the veterans who call Palm Beach County home have the stability and support they deserve.”
