In partnership with Habitat for Humanity Jacksonville, Inc. (HabiJax), EverBank and the Jacksonville Jaguars recently completed a home for a local family in New Town. This marks the fourth consecutive year the organizations have partnered for a HabiJax home build. Construction began March 20 and the home was completed in early May.

“We value our longstanding relationship with EverBank and appreciate all of the EverBank and Jaguars volunteers who made this build possible,” said Mary Kay O’Rourke, HabiJax President and CEO. “Seeing the progress of the home each day and knowing the impact it has on its new owners is very rewarding for everyone involved, and I know they are excited to move in and get settled.”

Since 1995, EverBank has partnered with HabiJax on 70 houses, contributing more than 900 associate volunteer hours annually. EverBank associates, Jaguars players, coaches, staff and members of The ROAR Cheerleaders contributed their time throughout the building process.
