"Supporting organizations like the Education Foundation of Sarasota County and the Pace Center for Girls Manatee is incredibly important to our company as they are both organizations that are creating measurable and lasting impact," said Jack Cox, president of Halfacre Construction Company. "It's an honor to play even a small role in helping students build a foundation for success, as well as support girls in overcoming challenges to reach their full potential."
