Raising The Roof
Capitol Lighting Takes Part In A Habitat For Humanity Build
Recently, Ken and Eric Lebersfeld CEO and president/CMO, respectively, of Capitol Lighting led 21 staffers, family members and friends in a roof-raising ceremony and build with Habitat for Humanity of South Palm Beach County. Capitol Lighting is the presenting home sponsor of the Boynton Beach house, which belongs to Kenya Clinton, a mother of two. The team spent four hours moving, placing, raising and securing roof trusses.
The build wasn't the first for Boca Raton-based Capitol Lighting, which participates in such projects every year. Eric currently serves as the Restore Committee chairman and member of the board for Habitat for Humanity of South Palm Beach County.
In 2014, when he received the Pioneer Award at Habitat's Hearts and Hammers Gala, Eric talked about how Capitol Lighting's goals align with those of the nonprofit.
"For 90 years, Capitol Lighting has been on a quest of making the lives of our customers, our communities, our vendors and our employees brighter. Habitat's stated mission is that of building hope with homes.' So, it seems that Habitat is also in the business of making lives brighter, but they just do it with houses."
