PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA / ACCESS Newswire / June 18, 2025 / Toll Brothers, Inc. (NYSE:TOL), the nation's leading builder of luxury homes, recently honored HomeAid at its 31st Annual Gala, held at the historic Water Works venue in Philadelphia. The highly anticipated fundraising event raised $1.2 million in support of HomeAid, a national nonprofit organization with 19 affiliates across the U.S., dedicated to helping individuals experiencing or at risk of homelessness rebuild their lives through construction, community engagement, and education.
The theme of the evening, "All Together Now," was brought to life by hundreds of Toll Brothers employees, HomeAid America staff, national partners, community leaders, and philanthropists who gathered to celebrate the power of partnership and purpose. The evening included an inspiring program featuring remarks from Toll Brothers Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Douglas C. Yearley, Jr. and HomeAid America Chief Executive Officer Scott Larson, followed by a moving video presentation, a live auction, and a paddle raise in support of HomeAid's mission.
"HomeAid is a truly remarkable organization that's uniquely connected to the work we do every day in homebuilding," said Douglas C. Yearley, Jr., Toll Brothers Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Our employees have proudly supported HomeAid for years, serving on local boards and spearheading transformative projects for the community. We're now excited to deepen our relationship with HomeAid by making them the beneficiary of our annual fundraising efforts."
Over the past 36 years, HomeAid and its affiliates have partnered with builders like Toll Brothers to complete nearly 1,500 housing and outreach projects, providing more than 15,000 beds and serving close to 900,000 individuals in need. Proceeds from this year's Gala will directly support the construction and renovation of safe, dignified housing and programmatic facilities, as well as critical outreach and educational initiatives across the country.
"This Gala was more than a celebration - it was a catalyst for impact. The generosity shown by Toll Brothers and everyone who contributed will help us expand our work into new communities and deepen our support where the need is greatest. We are humbled by the shared commitment to building a future without homelessness, and incredibly grateful to be walking this path together," said Scott Larson, HomeAid America Chief Executive Officer.
This year's event also marks a major step forward in HomeAid's expansion efforts, including plans to launch a new affiliate in the Delaware Valley and explore growth into Tennessee and the Carolinas - regions where Toll Brothers builds and where the need for housing solutions is pressing.
The Toll Brothers Annual Gala continues to make a meaningful impact, underscoring the strength of purpose-driven partnerships and the profound change that can be made when we come together - all together now.
