Giving back to the communities in which we work

One of the best things about being in construction is making tangible, positive contributions to communities throughout Texas. Rogers-O’Brien Construction extends our commitment to the places where we live and work by getting involved with grassroots charities, sponsoring events, and affiliating with local, regional, and national nonprofit organizations. Examples include:

Salesmanship Club of Dallas

Founded in 1920, the Salesmanship Club of Dallas is an organization dedicated to improving the lives of children and their families in the greater Dallas area. Through the EDS Byron Nelson Championship, the Salesmanship Club raises millions of dollars each year to support its work. Proceeeds from the golf championship benefit Salesmanship Club Youth and Family Centers, which provides education and mental health services for children and their families in the greater Dallas area.

Rogers-O’Brien supports the Salesmanship Club in a number of ways. We provide financial sponsorship to the Byron Nelson Championship. And our executives volunteer their time to Salesmanship Club committees, the golf tournament, and Salesmanship Club Youth and Family Centers.

New York Says Thank You

Each year on the weekend before the 9/11 anniversary, The New York Says Thank You Foundation helps commemorate the support Americans gave New Yorkers following 9/11. The foundation sends New York firefighters — many of them survivors of the World Trade Center attack — to help rebuild communities around the U.S. affected by disasters.

Rogers-O’Brien partnered with The New York Says Thank You Foundation to rebuild the home of James and Eva Vincent in the small town of Groesbeck, Texas, just east of Waco. Three generations of the Vincent family have run assisted-living centers for disabled veterans out of their homes. Vincent family members also comprise nearly one-quarter of the Volunteer Fire Department of Groesbeck. Rogers-O’Brien solicited the support of construction companies and Texas suppliers to rebuild the Vincents’ home, which was destroyed by a tornado.
