What is a Builder Sponsor?

A Northeast Florida Construction Career Days (NEFLCCD) Builder Sponsor refers to a company or organization that supports construction-related initiatives and projects, typically through both financial contributions and volunteer. In this case, the Builder Sponsors are industry partners that provide materials, equipment, and skilled labor to help complete a community-focused project, such as the facility improvement project at the Jacksonville Equestrian Center.

For the 2025 event, the Builder Sponsors played an integral role in the successful completion of a facility improvement project. Their involvement included:

• Providing materials and equipment: They supplied the necessary resources for the construction of the 5 cast-in-place concrete equestrian waste pits at the Jacksonville Equestrian Center.
• Volunteering skilled labor: 26 volunteers from these companies donated their time and expertise to ensure the project was completed efficiently and to a high standard.
• Collaborating with various partners: Builder Sponsors worked closely with organizations like the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), City of Jacksonville (COJ), and several local construction firms, contributing to a cohesive and successful effort that enhanced the Equestrian Center's infrastructure.

The Builder Sponsors helped meet a pressing need for improved waste management facilities at the Equestrian Center, which has seen increased usage. Their support ensured that the center can continue to serve as a hub for equestrian activities and other community events, benefiting both the local community and the broader equestrian enthusiast population.

Builder Sponsors are essential partners in community service and development, bringing together resources and expertise to improve public spaces, ensure sustainability, and contribute to local development projects.
