B&I Contractors, an employee-owned Florida based mechanical, electrical and plumbing subcontractor, is taking a less traditional approach to celebrating its 60 years in business. As a token of gratitude to the communities to which B&I owes its success and longevity, the 2020 celebration bash includes making a greater impact with the company’s charitable giving. Not-forprofits receiving B&I’s support include education, healthcare and community organizations. From holding a blood drive at B&I’s headquarters to providing sponsorships to the Foundation for Lee County Public Schools Strides for Education 5k, the Hillsborough Community College Golf Classic, Ringling College of Art & Design Avant-Guard Fundraiser, the Golden Angels Gala benefiting the Jackson Health Foundation and the Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital Tour de Broward, B&I aims to strengthen community ties and share its resources by helping to save lives and help the younger generation flourish.
“B&I demonstrates its core values — quality, integrity and teamwork — through our work in the community. We strive to improve the quality of life, show integrity by our hard work, and we team with wonderful not-for-profit partners to identify the needs in the community,” said Gary Griffin, B&I’s president of 25 years and 2020 Lee County Heart Walk chair.
Established in 1960, B&I has offices in Fort Myers, Tamarac, Sarasota and Tampa. The company provides HVAC, electrical, plumbing, refrigeration and building maintenance services for commercial, institutional and industrial facilities throughout Florida and beyond.
