Blaine Boys and Girls Club receives $5,100 donation

Two east Blaine construction companies donated over $5,000 to the Blaine Boys and Girls Club.

Bellingham-based businesses Skeers Construction Inc. and Bellingham Millwork Supply Co. gave $5,100 to the nonprofit that supports Blaine students supporting education development. Both companies are working on the Lincoln Park Place, a D Street housing development that will have 17 homes once complete, according to a November 23 press release on the donation.

“Without community partners like Skeers Construction and Bellingham Millwork Supply Co., we could not fulfill our mission of bringing Great Futures to the youth of Whatcom County. Year after year, we have been thankful for their support,” said Heather Powell, CEO of Whatcom County Boys and Girls Clubs, in the press release.

Dick Skeers, president of Skeers Construction Inc., and Dick Campbell, president of Bellingham Millwork Supply Co., first pledged to donate $200 and $100, respectively, for each Lincoln Park Place home sold, according to a July 21 press release.
