New Fund Will Help Our Members Recover

Fundraiser Campaign

The Builders Association of the Blue Ridge Mountains has launched a fundraising campaign to help our members recover after Hurricane Helene.

Many members are dealing with devastating losses, with both their businesses and livelihoods severely impacted. In turn, helping our industry come back is critical as Western North Carolina looks to rebuild.

With this in mind, the Association has launched a GoFundMe campaign. The support, which will be distributed through our sister foundation, will provide:

  • Replacement of trucks and equipment: Financial aid to replace lost vehicles and the tools needed to get back to work.
  • Rebuilding business locations: Assistance to rebuild and restore members’ offices, workshops, and supply spaces.
  • Replenishing supplies: Support for purchasing essential materials that were lost, enabling members to resume operations as quickly as possible.

“With this financial support, we can lift up our fellow members, restore their livelihoods, and show them that they’re not alone on the road to recovery,” said Megan Carroll, Executive Officer of BABRM. “We are stronger together, and we know that our building industry will be all-important to our region’s recovery.”
