TAMPA, Fla., April 27, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- MaintenX
International was founded in the Tampa
Bay area, and is proud to celebrate the region's history
alongside its charitable organizations. On Friday, April 23rd, MaintenX sponsored the Cigar
Bar at Habitat for Humanity of Pinellas & West Pasco's Havana
Nights gala, a night of Cuban music, hors d'ouvres, and cocktails
supporting Habitat's mission of bringing people together to build
homes, communities, and hope.
"Our partnership with Habitat for Humanity has endured for years
because we share strong values and a commitment to service," said
MaintenX VP of Business Development Bill Schaphorst. "Supporting
Havana Nights is a great way to deepen that partnership; the
dancing is a bonus!"
The event, held at the Vinoy Renaissance St. Petersburg, raised
more than $430,000 for Habitat, an
impressive amount considering the past year. All funds will be used
to support affordable homeownership opportunities for deserving
families in Pinellas and
West Pasco counties.
"This was our first in-person event since the pandemic began,
and it was a resounding success," said Mike
Sutton, CEO of Habitat. "I'm touched by the support and
generosity of our sponsors and attendees, and look forward to
further collaborations."
MaintenX founder Pat O'Hara and
his son Chas, a MaintenX sales executive, attended the gala with
guests. They joined other attendees in rallying behind Steve &
Nancy Westphal (owners of St. Pete
restaurants including 400 Beach, Parkshore Grille, and The Hangar)
who kicked off the night with a $50,000 challenge donation. Pat 'raised the roof'
by matching that donation with his own $50,000 gift, which will go toward a home
sponsorship for a future homeowner. Chas rounded out the evening as
the last person to donate during the $100 challenge, bringing his overall contribution
to $11,000.
