Our Bathroom for a Battle Buddy Contest has ended.
December 2023 - Philadelphia, PA
Hi, everyone.
Thanks for checking out B4ABB!
My name is Mike. I am one of the owners and operators of DeMayo Tile, LLC. Since 2021, I have been working alongside my mom and dad, my business partners, to provide the Greater Philadelphia Area and South Jersey with some of the best tile and flooring installation craftsmanship and pricing in the industry.
But, before I joined the family business, I served in the US Army for over 10 years!
April 2015 - Ft. Bliss, TX
During my time in the Army, I served and fought alongside of some of the bravest and most honorable men and women that this country has to offer. The sacrifices that our service members make each and every day in defense of this great nation are immeasurable - I have seen it, and lived it. And, sometimes, a thank you just doesn’t cut it! So, once our donation goal has been met, I want to give back to one of this nation's heroes - one of my Battle Buddies, or their surviving spouse or child - in the best way that I can: by giving them a brand new bathroom!
However, bathroom remodels can be costly. Trust me, I know! Between labor costs, material, dump fees, permitting, etc., my partners and I estimate that it will cost around $15,000 to cover the entire project. The three of us at DeMayo Tile, along with the help of a few of our employees and their families, have already donated $2,400. We need your help to raise the rest! Every donation, no matter how big or small, helps tremendously!
And if you are eligible, please sign up for the contest!
Below you will find our GoFundMe campaign, a complete list of submission requirements, an explanation of how ALL donated funds will be used, the material list for the remodel, our disclaimers, and the submission form.
This is a completely nonprofit giveaway. The intended distribution of donated funds can be found below.
