Construction firm puts $95K toward teen homelessness
TAMPA – Coastal Construction is taking a stand against teen homelessness.
The company raised $95,000 from a charity golf tournament at Copperhead Golf Course in Palm Harbor to benefit Metropolitan Ministries’ annual Bridge Builders campaign.
“As builders, we don’t just construct buildings – we build hope,” said Sean DeMartino, president of Coastal Construction. “No teenager should have to face homelessness. Our communities are stronger when we come together to provide support and opportunities for those in need.”
Coastal Construction has been instrumental in shaping Tampa Bay’s skyline.
