Habitat for Humanity of Bucks County Thanks Parx Casino®
Author: Tom Drotar, Resource Development Director

Bucks County, PA – Habitat for Humanity of Bucks County congratulates and thanks Parx Casino® for their recent volunteer build-day at the Hawk Road construction site in Levittown – the 100th home building project in Habitat Buck’s 25 year history.  Led by Parx General Manager Anthony Faranca, a crew of seven Parx employees helped attach insulation to the outside of the house. “Whenever possible I believe in extending a helping hand to those enduring a hardship.  Habitat for Humanity does just that ~ it is an extraordinary organization that builds houses for families in need, but more importantly helps rebuild their lives.  Parx Casino® is honored to partner with Habitat for Humanity of Bucks County and support our local community in the most fundamental way, building homes and rebuilding futures for our neighbors.”

Parx Casino®’s generosity goes beyond volunteerism as they contributed $10,000 to the Hawk Road project, and have supported several other Habitat Bucks builds in recent years.  Parx’s commitment to Habitat Bucks earned them the “Partner of the Year” award in 2014 which was announced at last November’s Signature Event – Hard Hats and High Heels.  “We are so fortunate to have this wonderful organization partnering with us on our home builds,” said Florence Kawoczka, Executive Director of Habitat Bucks.  “Parx has been involved with numerous builds and repair projects over the past few years.  Not only do they give generously financially, but their employees do fantastic work on site!”
