Centerline Homes’ Central Florida team participated in the recent Race For The Cure, sponsored by the Susan G. Komen Foundation of Central Florida. Team Centerline, outfitted in pink, had many associates run the race and even more who walked the course. “It’s such a great cause,” noted Deb Marton, Vice-President of Sales for Centerline Homes. “We’ve all been touched by this disease, and this race was a very positive way of fighting back.”

Centerline Homes will continue to fight back in conjunction with the Central Florida division of the Susan G. Komen organization. In February 2012, Centerline Homes will host Homes For The Cure at their Eagle Creek community in the Lake Nona area of Orlando. Homes For The Cure will allow the general public to tour three spectacular show homes that Centerline Homes is building in conjunction with Builder Magazine and the International Builder Show. Proceeds will benefit the Susan G. Komen organization. These exciting concept homes feature designs that have been specifically created for Generation X, Generation Y, and Baby Boomer buyers. They’ll be a reflection on how these three buyer types live today, and into the future.
