While masons and mason contractors handle the hands-on work, industry companies donate tools and materials to help complete the projects.
MK Diamond Products Inc., in Torrance, Calif., provided complimentary diamond blades and other products for the building of a sandstone wall that contains the names of every Boy Scout, past and present, from Orange Country, Calif. The wall is big enough to feature the names of future scouts for the next 50 to 60 years.
"It's not just a wall. It's a memorial," said Brian Delahaut, vice president and general manager for MK Diamond. "It was very, very impressive to see 90 years' worth of Boy Scouts who have come and gone and were lost in the records."
Across the country, The QUIKRETE Companies of Atlanta sponsored a nationwide contest to provide a new basketball court to a school or community. "The QUIKRETE Companies value tradition and community," said Dennis Winchester, the company's executive vice president. The company repaved a court at a school in Woolwich, Maine, based on a winning essay from a 14-year-old girl.
As shown in the before and after images, the community of Woolwich, Maine, now has a functional basketball court, courtesy of QUIKRETE.
