Beacon Roofing Supply, Inc. (Nasdaq: BECN) (“Beacon” or the “Company”) announced today the launch of its first annual Beacon of Hope contest, through which Beacon will award deserving veteran homeowners new roofs. The contest is open to all military veterans who received honorable or general discharges. There will be a total of five winners selected from around the country.
“The Beacon of Hope contest is one way we can give back to the men and women who have given so much to our country,” said Eric Swank, Beacon’s Chief Operating Officer. “It is an honor and privilege to provide a safe roof that they can be proud of and that will protect their family and their belongings.”
From July 29, 2019 through September 20, 2019, the public can nominate a deserving U.S. veteran at http://go.becn.com/beaconofhope or submit an e-mail to beaconofhope@becn.com. Nominations must include a photo and short bio of the veteran, which includes their military branch, years of service and why the nominee is deserving of a new roof.
Ten finalists will be announced in September, and the public will have an opportunity to vote for their favorite finalists. Beacon will announce the winners and runners-up on Veterans Day.
