SIBA Leadership Development Council gives toys, $1,650 in donations to Caritas Family Solutions

The Southern Illinois Builders Association recently held its Fall Industry Reception and Annual Meeting.  In conjunction with the event, the Leadership Development Council held a toy drive with all donations and proceeds to benefit Caritas Family Solutions of Belleville, a nonprofit social services agency that works to meet the physical, social, and emotional needs of vulnerable people in southern Illinois, from before birth through the golden years. Donors received a ticket for each $1 donated, and for each donation of a toy, donors received 20 tickets for a chance to win one of the five baskets that were available.  The basket themes included: a Sunset Hills Golf Basket; a Far Oaks & Stonewolf Golf Basket; St. Louis Cardinals Basket; a Booze Basket and a Lotto Scratch Off tree.  Fifty toys were collected along with $1,650 in donations which were presented to Caritas Family Solutions at the Southern Illinois Builders Association office. The Southern Illinois Builders Association is a trade association of contractors representing approximately 500 commercial and industrial building, highway and utility construction contractors throughout southern Illinois.
