Beazer Homes Surpasses $10 Million Raised for Fisher House Foundation
Employee and partner-led charitable giving effort delivers one million nights of free housing for veterans and service members
ATLANTA, March 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Beazer Homes, the country's #1 energy efficient homebuilder*, just announced that, through the Beazer Charity Foundation and with the support of its employees and partners, it has surpassed $10 million in total funds raised for its philanthropic partner, Fisher House Foundation, a nonprofit that provides free housing for military and veteran families while a loved one receives medical care. The achievement reflects Beazer's longstanding commitment to corporate philanthropy and community service. To date, the $10 million in donations has helped provide approximately one million nights of lodging for military and veteran families. That impact is equivalent to supporting 15 families every night across all 100 Fisher House locations for two consecutive years.
The partnership between Beazer Homes and Fisher House Foundation began in 2017 as a grassroots effort to support military families. What started with a single race has grown into a nationwide, employee-driven community service initiative known as Rock. Run. Raise!, with employees and partners across the country raising funds and volunteering in support of veteran families and military communities.
"Reaching $10 million is an incredible milestone, but what matters most is how we got here," said Allan Merrill, chairman and CEO of Beazer Homes. "This has been an employee-led effort from the beginning. It was not one campaign or one moment, but people across our company choosing, again and again, to show up. Whether that is training for the race, raising funds, or giving their time in the communities where we live and work, that collective commitment to service is what makes this partnership so meaningful and the impact so real for the military families Fisher House supports."
This year, more than 320 Beazer employees, partners, and guests traveled to Washington, D.C. to participate in the annual race, with 186 running the 5K or half marathon and others forming a dedicated cheer squad along the course. In a unique demonstration of commitment, participants from around the country paid their own way to attend, covering travel, lodging, and race registration costs while also raising money to support free housing for military families.
"We are deeply grateful for Beazer Homes and the hundreds of employees and partners whose actions and generosity have made this milestone possible," said David Coker, president of Fisher House Foundation. "Their commitment has had a tremendous impact, allowing military and veteran families to focus on healing and being together without the burden of housing costs."
For the second consecutive year, Beazer employees also participated in a nationwide Day of Service ahead of the race, contributing 3,589 volunteer hours across 72 nonprofit organizations. While Fisher House Foundation remains Beazer's primary philanthropic partner, employees support a wide range of local initiatives focused on housing, health, youth development, and community services.
Beazer's Rock. Run. Raise! initiative reflects the company's broader commitment to corporate social responsibility, community impact, and supporting military families, veterans, and service members across the country.
