Doing Good for the Community: Watson Civil Supports Davidson Cares Clay Day

January 19, 2023

 | 

Davidson Cares Clay Day is an event that is proud to raise money and awareness for worthy causes AND bring Northeast Florida organizations together to strengthen relationships. For the last six years, Watson Civil has generously supported Davidson Cares Clay Day as a sponsor and brings their passion for the community to the event every year.  

 

John Watson, President and CEO of Watson Civil, first met the Davidsons in 1996 when construction began on World Golf Village. “Whenever I was driving customers around the dirt roads to show off the development, John would always make sure I could get around the equipment and not get stuck. That was the beginning of a wonderful friendship!,” shares Davidson Realty President, Sherry Davidson. 

 

The Davidson Cares Clay Day is an annual staple for Watson Civil Construction. “We look forward to this event each year for a few different reasons. We thoroughly enjoy the chance for fellowship with our industry peers and friends. Clay Day also gives us the ability to have some additional team-building time with employees within our own firm. But most importantly, it provides the opportunity to partner with The Davidson Companies to support some terrific charities and schools in our local community,” shares John Watson. “It has been a lot of fun to watch the support grow each year. We admire The Davidson Companies for establishing Davidson Cares and for bringing the community and supporters together for such wonderful causes that provide services for our local youth. We are excited and looking forward to the next Davidson Cares Clay Day!”

 

As a horizontal contractor, Watson Civil specializes in large site infrastructure, underground, and road and bridgework. Watson Civil’s clients range from state and local governments to private developers and national home builders. 

 

“Watson Civil has a remarkable reputation. John Watson has a vibrant energy and handles everything that comes his way head-on,” shares Davidson. “Our partnership with Watson Civil is treasured and we look forward to making more memories at Clay Day for years to come.”

 

Davidson Cares Clay Day is proud to have the support and sponsorship from Watson Civil as they continue to give back in Northeast Florida. To learn more about Watson Civil Construction visit their website at www.watsoncivil.com or call (904) 297-1800.

United to Serve: MasterCraft Builder Group Supports Davidson Cares Clay Day

January 12, 2023

 | 

The overwhelming success of Davidson Cares Clay Day is thanks to the hard work of countless individuals and organizations. However, MasterCraft Builder Group is truly owed a great deal of gratitude as their Clays for a Cause event was the inspiration for Sherry Davidson, President of Davidson Realty, to start a similar event of her own. 

 

“MasterCraft’s Clays for a Cause event was so fruitful and brought together an amazing group of people for a great cause. When I decided I wanted to do something similar, I reached out to Chris Shee, Founder and CEO of MasterCraft Builder Group, and he graciously provided me with the insight to create an event that was our own,” shares Sherry. 

 

“Davidson Cares’ Clay Day is a wonderful day of uniting a community of friends to shoot a round of sporting clays while supporting worthy, local charitable causes. It’s not just about raising money, but also increasing awareness of needs that are right under our nose,” shares Chris Shee. “Our companies both share the same mission of being charitable and our sporting clay shoots are one of the ways we practice this. While the events have their own unique formats, charities, and themes, three things remain the same: love, grace for the needy, and glory to Him.”

 

Davidson Realty and MasterCraft Builder Group have bonded over their passion for giving back to the community and providing excellent service to their clients. MasterCraft Builder Group is a semi-custom builder and community developer that specializes in thoughtful designs and exceptional quality to meet the needs of the modern family by providing luxury living at an affordable price. MasterCraft Builder Group has homes in RiverTown, TrailMark, SilverLeaf, and Madeira.

 

Over the past year, these two organizations have supported one another in various ways. In addition to continuing to sponsor Clays for a Cause, Davidson Realty was a major sponsor for MasterCraft’s Concerts for a Cause which benefits Builders Care, an organization that both Sherry and Chris serve on as board members. Davidson Realty also sponsored the 1st Hometown Hero’s Ride, an event that MasterCraft helped organize to benefit Veterans and First Responders. MasterCraft was recently involved with the reconstruction for Port in the Storm, which inspired Davidson Realty to add the organization as one of the Clay Day beneficiaries. 

 

“Seeing Port in the Storm as one of the beneficiaries of Clay Day this year was really exciting. MasterCraft has supported their organization for several years including doing two almost complete renovations due to emergency disasters. This shelter for struggling or homeless teenagers and young adults provides a safe place to sleep. Helping them is what we are called to do. Port in the Storm is a wonderful mission and the fact that Davidson Cares chose this local cause as part of their 2022 event is just terrific,” continues Chris. 

 

Davidson Cares Clay Day is proud to have the support and sponsorship from MasterCraft Builder Group as they continue to support local charities. To learn more about MasterCraft Builder Group, visit their website at mastercraftbuildergroup.com or call (904) 295-1604.

Davidson Realty: Spreading Good Cheer in Northeast Florida

December 22, 2022

Since 1989, Davidson Realty has been proud to deliver expert real estate services to Northeast Florida. The same compassion and commitment given to clients for their real estate needs is also given to the greater community. Davidson Realty has created a thriving culture focused on serving all of Jacksonville and St. Augustine. 

 

During this giving season, Davidson Realty agents have been hard at work to spread good cheer to their Northeast Florida neighbors. “Our agents are true servant leaders. They have a genuine passion for helping those in need and, at Davidson Realty, we celebrate that joy for giving,” shares Davidson Realty President, Sherry Davidson. 

 

For the last eleven years, veteran agent Mirtha Barzaga, has held two food and toy drives to benefit the Homeless Coalition, an organization that provides clothes, food, and other supplies for the homeless. Mirtha calls upon her fellow Heritage Landing residents to help her support this worthy cause during her Thanksgiving drive and her many friends in The King & Bear for her Christmas drive. Several of her family members from South Florida come to support her efforts to bring joy to those less fortunate. 

 

Similarly, agents Liz Pappaceno and Reba Barkley also enjoy giving back to the Homeless Coalition. Liz held several food and toy drives this season in Sevilla while Reba held her drive in Austin Park. Both Liz and Reba were overwhelmed by the generosity in the Northeast Florida community and are constantly taking advantage of opportunities to do good in the community and that spirit is contagious. 

 

The joy of giving back to the community is a sentiment shared with all Davidson team members. Caitlyn Hawkins had a busy season of giving this year! Caitlyn organized and donated snack packs and food to the Beaches Mission House and BEAM Food Banks and donated toys and books to the local Foster Closet. Additionally, Caitlyn has spent time cleaning waterways and participating in beach clean ups throughout the year both with various organizations and independently. 

 

Stacy Cornell volunteered her time and was a sponsor for the Belles and Beaus of the River Society event this December. “I was proud to sponsor three families in need by collecting items from an angel tree and presenting those items to each of the families at the conclusion of the event. This event is a highlight in my year and so well done with various activity stations, hot chocolate station, snow machine, a movie, and letters and pictures with Santa,” shares Cornell. 

 

Doing good together is always a joy! This year, Reba Barkely, Candy Gil, Rebecca Schaffer, Jeanne Denton-Scheck, and Margherite Myers volunteered at the Northeast Florida Association of Realtors (NEFAR) Hunger Fight Pack-a-Thon event. These Davidson agents joined hundreds of fellow NEFAR members to provide 75,000 meals for hungry children, families, and seniors in Northeast Florida. 

 

“At Davidson Realty, we are incredibly proud of our team and their various philanthropic endeavors,” shares Davidson. “Ultimately, we are grateful for the continued support from the community and, as a team, we hope to show our appreciation by continuing to give back and help our community be an even better place to live.”

Leigh Insurance 

In addition to the sport shooting event during Davidson Cares Clay Day, a popular and exciting element is the raffle items. This year, Leigh Insurance generously sponsored the gun raffle and cigar table. This raffle item was a new addition this year, but one that caught the eye of participants and those interested in supporting the event. Leigh Insurance also provided each shooter with a quality cigar which made the event extra special. “Clay Day is a fun day that we look forward to each fall and a great opportunity to give back to the community. Leigh Insurance enjoys being a sponsor knowing the contributions are going to organizations doing incredible work. We are honored to participate and be a sponsor for Davidson Cares Clay Day each year,” shares Sally Jaudon, Business Manager at Leigh Insurance Agency. 

 

Chris Austin

Many of the Davidson Cares Clay Day sponsors have truly become an extension of the Davidson Realty family, and Chris Austin of First Coast Mortgage Funding is no exception. “Chris Austin is a lender our team works with very closely. Chris has an office in our building and participates in many of our team activities like lunch and learns, pizza and personal notes, birthday celebrations, and our trivia night. Chris also recently joined our team in our ramp build with Builders Care,” shares Davidson. Chris Austin graciously sponsored the wonderful lunch for Clay Day and assisted with set up for the event. “Being able to sponsor the lunch for Clay Day was the least I could do to help the great charities Davidson Cares continues to support. To be a part of an event like this one that at the end of the day gives so much money to organizations that will help the people who need it most is an honor and a privilege,” share Chris Austin.

Record of Respect: Vallencourt Construction Company Supports Davidson Cares Clay Day

December 8, 2022

 | 

From the inception of Davidson Cares Clay Day, Vallencourt Construction Company has been a major sponsor and incredible advocate for the annual event. The relationship between Vallencourt Construction Company and Davidson Realty dates back to the 1980s. Through the years the Davidsons have had the pleasure of working with three generations of the Vallencourt Family. Vallencourt Construction Company and the Davidsons worked together on various projects and Vallencourt Construction Company helped bring the vision of World Golf Village to life. From these various projects, a relationship built on mutual respect and admiration was formed. 

 

“I reflect on the process and the development of our relationship with the Davidson Companies often. It is on the highlight reel of my life. Vallencourt started with some smaller projects and went through the typical bid process. The Davidsons were tough, but fair developers. They always did what they said they would do and provided clear direction. Our relationship was constantly tested in the heat of the construction process, as nothing ever works out perfectly in construction, but we could always count on each other and mutual trust grew,” shares Mike Vallencourt, Sr. “The feeling of trusting and not being betrayed. The feeling of being trusted and being true. That is the definition of character and these feelings are the reward of good character.” 

 

Vallencourt Construction Company was established in 1945. With more than seventy years of experience, family-owned Vallencourt Construction Company provides clients an unbeatable value with their experience, strong workforce, and top-of-the-line machinery. The team at Vallencourt Construction Company continually seeks out new markets and projects. They believe this forward-thinking is critical to providing the best value to customers, opportunities for employees, and growth as an organization. Vallencourt has had a hand in countless projects over the years including RiverTown, Bannon Lakes, Beachwalk, and the Town Center Promenade.

 

“Vallencourt Construction Company is an organization with a strong reputation for their integrity and incredible craftsmanship. I have witnessed them go above and beyond to help their team or take the time to train people who they see potential in,” shares Davidson Realty President, Sherry Davidson. “Vallencourt Construction Company is constantly giving back to the community and is extremely generous. In 2006, the Vallencourt family established the Vallencourt Scholarship at Bishop Snyder. Each year, one young man and woman are selected to receive the scholarship for their exemplary work ethic. Vallencourt Construction Company are also strong supporters of St. Vincent’s Hospital and L’Arche Jacksonville as well as other organizations through sponsorships.”
