The foundation, established by Diamond Custom Homes in 2020, remains committed to supporting organizations that promote educational opportunities, affordable housing and community well-being throughout Southwest Florida.

“The success of our third annual golf event underscores our community’s dedication to giving back and supporting crucial initiatives in Southwest Florida,” said Michael Diamond, president of Diamond Custom Homes. “Through the Building Dreams Foundation, we support local charities that make a lasting difference in people’s lives. The participation from our sponsors, golfers and volunteers demonstrates the powerful impact we can achieve when our community unites behind meaningful causes. As we look ahead, we remain dedicated to expanding our reach and fostering positive change across Collier and Lee counties.”
