McCarthy Building, CHOC Children’s Participate in Project Playhouse Event

McCarthy Building, CHOC Children’s Participate in Project Playhouse EventMcCarthy Building Companies, in partnership with CHOC Children’s, recently built a technologically advanced playhouse for HomeAid Orange County’s 19th Annual Project Playhouse fundraiser. This is the second year that McCarthy and CHOC have participated in the event.

The playhouse was built with thousands of dollars in services and supplies donated by McCarthy Building Companies along with various subcontractors and vendors. The McCarthy and CHOC Children’s playhouse is HomeAid’s “opportunity drawing playhouse,” the only playhouse that could be won by purchasing $2 raffle tickets. Six additional playhouses were donated by other building teams and sold at a live auction party on Sept. 10.

Named “Tween the House and the Pool,” the 80-square-foot playhouse with a eight-foot open ceiling is a place where tweens can relax inside or lounge on the modular patio, with mosaic pools at the entryway. It was completed in part by McCarthy Heart Hats, a volunteer community outreach group led by the employees of McCarthy Building Companies.
