Seventy business leaders and executives donated their time and financial support Thursday, April 2 at Habitat for Humanity of Orange County (Habitat OC’s) 7th annual “Leaders Build Day” in Cypress.

Spanning an array of business sectors from banking, technology, construction, and tourism, firms collectively participated in an active day of building five of the 15 affordable homes in Cypress, which will be sold to limited income families in Orange County. Leaders enjoyed working together and competed in a variety of games, including wood-cutting, saw, and hammer competitions.

Along with the support from many local businesses, the presenting sponsors included Banc of California, First Bank, and Pacific Western Bank.  Additional major sponsors included Absolute Technologies, Inc., Antis Roofing & Waterproofing, Fluidmaster, Lyon Communities, and Parker Aerospace.
