Each fall, we're proud to host an annual subcontractor golf tournament with proceeds benefiting a different charity. As safe and affordable housing is one of three core areas supported in our CSR efforts, this year’s recipient was Jubilee Support Alliance’s Jubilee Housing – a local nonprofit that provides a lifeline to more than 700 low-income residents through housing and essential support services within DC’s Adams Morgan community.

The event was held on September 21, 2015, at Cattail Creek Country Club in Glenwood, Maryland. More than 135 DAVIS employees and subcontractors participated in the tournament, raising $67,000 for Jubilee.

“We’re so grateful for the support we’ve received from our subcontracting friends, as well as from our own DAVIS folks who jumped in to give whatever help was needed to meet our fundraising goal. We filled up the tournament in just over two weeks

For over 20 years, DAVIS has been a strong champion for Jubilee, providing support through fundraising, sponsorships, materials donations, in-kind construction services, and volunteer hours.

Jubilee Housing President, Jim Knight, says the money raised will virtually close the remaining gap for the Jubilee Life Initiative – a three-year fundraising campaign to acquire and renovate 64 units of affordable housing in Adams Morgan and create stabilizing opportunities for 44 citizens a year returning from incarceration at two reentry properties.


"We are truly humbled by DAVIS’ great gift of $67,000. It literally helps sustain our residents’ pursuit of life goals through affordable housing, new life opportunities and a supportive community."
