Five Clayton® Home Building Facilities Donate Over $68,000 to Morristown Regional Cancer Center in 2022

MORRISTOWN, Tenn., Dec. 5, 2022— Five East Tennessee home building facilities from Clayton Home Building Group®, a national builder of attainable housing, presented Morristown Regional Cancer Center with a $68,090.30 check for their Patient Assistance Fund. The center’s Patient Assistance Fund helps cancer patients and their families cover costs associated with treatment, medication, transportation, utility bills and other basic needs during and following their treatment.

During October and November, Clayton Home Building Group team members at Clayton Bean Station, TRU® White Pine, Clayton Supply Morristown I, Clayton Supply Morristown II, and Clayton Rutledge raised money for the fund, with their facilities and The Clayton Homes Foundation matching some or all of the team member contributions to comprise the final amount of $68,090.30.

Since 2017, Clayton home building facilities have donated more than $180,000 to the fund. This year’s donation is the largest so far, with more facilities participating than ever before. Team members got creative with their fundraising efforts this year and held T-shirt and hardhat sticker sales, chili cook-offs, cutest dog contests, and even pie-in-the-face raffles.

“As a former patient at the Morristown Regional Cancer Center, it means so much to me to see my colleagues continue to support the center that helped me,” said Jody Charles, Team Member Experience Manager at Clayton Bean Station. “I am now four years cancer-free, and the number of facilities involved in this project continues to grow every year. The effort and dedication that our team members have in raising money for the Cancer Center is simply phenomenal. I am so proud of my fellow team members and to be a part of an organization that strives to give so much to our community.”
