Haselden Construction’s second annual clay shoot in June raised more than $68,000 for Homes for Our Troops. Proceeds of the event will help build Army Sgt. Matthew Spang’s specially adapted home in Monument. Homes for Our Troops President and CEO Timothy McHale, who attended the shoot, said the specially adapted homes his organization builds for deserving veterans would not be possible without the support of generous donors and corporations nationwide. “It is only through the philanthropic investment of companies like Haselden that Homes for Our Troops can continue its mission of ‘Building Homes and Rebuilding Lives.’ We are humbled and grateful for the compassion and commitment of Haselden and its employees who raise funds for our cause and help return the gift of freedom and independence to those who fought so bravely to protect our freedoms overseas.” A total of 192 shooters and more than 50 volunteers participated in the clay shoot, one of only four fundraisers so far this year to raise more than $50,000 for Homes for Our Troops. Last year Haselden was among seven groups to raise more than $50,000 and was the largest donor in Colorado. Haselden project estimator Laura Hoff, who coordinated the event with estimator Josh Huff, said the event wouldn’t have been possible without participants and sponsors, including Falcon Plumbing & Heating, MTech Mechanical, Encore Electric and Metropolitan Glass.
