Foundation Hero: Divine 9

The Divine 9, a group of companies banded together to pool marketing dollars, has been supporting the Home Builders Foundation for many years. Individual companies within the Divine 9 have donated or heavily discounted to countless projects. Two years ago, the Divine 9 noticed a key component missing from the HBF Trap Shoot: a hot, hearty breakfast. The group stepped up and has dedicated themselves to providing a delicious start to the day. Home Builders Foundation would like to recognize the Divine 9 as a Foundation Hero – thank you Divine 9 for all that you do!Name: The Divine 9Companies: Lewis Audio Visual, Lakeside Lumber, Central Air, NW Natural, Gary’s Vacuflo, Contract Furnishings Mart, Lisac’s Fireplaces, DT Glass, Miller Paint, and Eagle Home MortgageHow did the group get started?
