MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 21, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The Valspar
Championship presented by BB&T, in conjunction with Habitat for
Humanity of Pinellas County, will
be joined by Valspar Corporation to dedicate a new home for a
single mom and her two kids at 4212 N. 18th Street in
St. Petersburg, Florida on
Wednesday, September 23 at
5 p.m.
The Habitat home, built with the aid of volunteers from
throughout the Valspar Championship community, including board
members, the Copperheads, staff and tournament volunteers, is for
the Lawrence family. Les Muma,
General Chairman of the 2016 Valspar Championship, will present the
keys to the home to homeowner Rolanda
Lawrence and her children. Kimberly
Welch, Vice President of Communications for Valspar and
President of the Valspar Foundation, will also make a special
presentation to the Lawrence family.
The build was made possible by a donation from Copperhead
Charities as a result of net proceeds from the 2015 Valspar
Championship. The Copperheads have a history of more than 30
years of aiding Tampa Bay area
charities through professional golf. The Valspar Championship is a
men's professional golf tournament on the PGA Tour, and is played
annually on the Copperhead Course at Innisbrook Resort and Golf
Club in Palm Harbor, Florida.
As is the case with all Habitat for Humanity homes built or
renovated in the United States,
Valspar donates the paint. Media are welcome to attend.
