United to Serve: MasterCraft Builder Group Supports Davidson Cares Clay Day

January 12, 2023

 | 

The overwhelming success of Davidson Cares Clay Day is thanks to the hard work of countless individuals and organizations. However, MasterCraft Builder Group is truly owed a great deal of gratitude as their Clays for a Cause event was the inspiration for Sherry Davidson, President of Davidson Realty, to start a similar event of her own. 

 

“MasterCraft’s Clays for a Cause event was so fruitful and brought together an amazing group of people for a great cause. When I decided I wanted to do something similar, I reached out to Chris Shee, Founder and CEO of MasterCraft Builder Group, and he graciously provided me with the insight to create an event that was our own,” shares Sherry. 

 

“Davidson Cares’ Clay Day is a wonderful day of uniting a community of friends to shoot a round of sporting clays while supporting worthy, local charitable causes. It’s not just about raising money, but also increasing awareness of needs that are right under our nose,” shares Chris Shee. “Our companies both share the same mission of being charitable and our sporting clay shoots are one of the ways we practice this. While the events have their own unique formats, charities, and themes, three things remain the same: love, grace for the needy, and glory to Him.”

 

Davidson Realty and MasterCraft Builder Group have bonded over their passion for giving back to the community and providing excellent service to their clients. MasterCraft Builder Group is a semi-custom builder and community developer that specializes in thoughtful designs and exceptional quality to meet the needs of the modern family by providing luxury living at an affordable price. MasterCraft Builder Group has homes in RiverTown, TrailMark, SilverLeaf, and Madeira.

 

Over the past year, these two organizations have supported one another in various ways. In addition to continuing to sponsor Clays for a Cause, Davidson Realty was a major sponsor for MasterCraft’s Concerts for a Cause which benefits Builders Care, an organization that both Sherry and Chris serve on as board members. Davidson Realty also sponsored the 1st Hometown Hero’s Ride, an event that MasterCraft helped organize to benefit Veterans and First Responders. MasterCraft was recently involved with the reconstruction for Port in the Storm, which inspired Davidson Realty to add the organization as one of the Clay Day beneficiaries. 

 

“Seeing Port in the Storm as one of the beneficiaries of Clay Day this year was really exciting. MasterCraft has supported their organization for several years including doing two almost complete renovations due to emergency disasters. This shelter for struggling or homeless teenagers and young adults provides a safe place to sleep. Helping them is what we are called to do. Port in the Storm is a wonderful mission and the fact that Davidson Cares chose this local cause as part of their 2022 event is just terrific,” continues Chris. 

 

Davidson Cares Clay Day is proud to have the support and sponsorship from MasterCraft Builder Group as they continue to support local charities. To learn more about MasterCraft Builder Group, visit their website at mastercraftbuildergroup.com or call (904) 295-1604.

Leigh Insurance also provided each shooter with a quality cigar which made the event extra special. “Clay Day is a fun day that we look forward to each fall and a great opportunity to give back to the community. Leigh Insurance enjoys being a sponsor knowing the contributions are going to organizations doing incredible work. We are honored to participate and be a sponsor for Davidson Cares Clay Day each year,” shares Sally Jaudon, Business Manager at Leigh Insurance Agency. 

 

Chris Austin

Many of the Davidson Cares Clay Day sponsors have truly become an extension of the Davidson Realty family, and Chris Austin of First Coast Mortgage Funding is no exception. “Chris Austin is a lender our team works with very closely. Chris has an office in our building and participates in many of our team activities like lunch and learns, pizza and personal notes, birthday celebrations, and our trivia night. Chris also recently joined our team in our ramp build with Builders Care,” shares Davidson. Chris Austin graciously sponsored the wonderful lunch for Clay Day and assisted with set up for the event. “Being able to sponsor the lunch for Clay Day was the least I could do to help the great charities Davidson Cares continues to support. To be a part of an event like this one that at the end of the day gives so much money to organizations that will help the people who need it most is an honor and a privilege,” share Chris Austin.

December 8, 2022

 | 

From the inception of Davidson Cares Clay Day, Vallencourt Construction Company has been a major sponsor and incredible advocate for the annual event. The relationship between Vallencourt Construction Company and Davidson Realty dates back to the 1980s. Through the years the Davidsons have had the pleasure of working with three generations of the Vallencourt Family. Vallencourt Construction Company and the Davidsons worked together on various projects and Vallencourt Construction Company helped bring the vision of World Golf Village to life. From these various projects, a relationship built on mutual respect and admiration was formed. 

 

“I reflect on the process and the development of our relationship with the Davidson Companies often. It is on the highlight reel of my life. Vallencourt started with some smaller projects and went through the typical bid process. The Davidsons were tough, but fair developers. They always did what they said they would do and provided clear direction. Our relationship was constantly tested in the heat of the construction process, as nothing ever works out perfectly in construction, but we could always count on each other and mutual trust grew,” shares Mike Vallencourt, Sr. “The feeling of trusting and not being betrayed. The feeling of being trusted and being true. That is the definition of character and these feelings are the reward of good character.” 

 

Vallencourt Construction Company was established in 1945. With more than seventy years of experience, family-owned Vallencourt Construction Company provides clients an unbeatable value with their experience, strong workforce, and top-of-the-line machinery. The team at Vallencourt Construction Company continually seeks out new markets and projects. They believe this forward-thinking is critical to providing the best value to customers, opportunities for employees, and growth as an organization. Vallencourt has had a hand in countless projects over the years including RiverTown, Bannon Lakes, Beachwalk, and the Town Center Promenade.

 

“Vallencourt Construction Company is an organization with a strong reputation for their integrity and incredible craftsmanship. I have witnessed them go above and beyond to help their team or take the time to train people who they see potential in,” shares Davidson Realty President, Sherry Davidson. “Vallencourt Construction Company is constantly giving back to the community and is extremely generous. In 2006, the Vallencourt family established the Vallencourt Scholarship at Bishop Snyder. Each year, one young man and woman are selected to receive the scholarship for their exemplary work ethic. Vallencourt Construction Company are also strong supporters of St. Vincent’s Hospital and L’Arche Jacksonville as well as other organizations through sponsorships.”
