Community Service
Bobbitt is dedicated to giving back to the communities in which we live and work, and we
often do so by contributing our design-build expertise. These projects can have a big impact
on not only the employees of Bobbitt, but also on the causes they care about.
Some of our recent philanthropic efforts include:
Alliance Medical Ministry
Bobbitt Design Build donated our services to convert an 18,220-square-foot church into
new facility for Alliance Medical Ministry – complete with treatment rooms, waiting rooms,
a pharmacy, restrooms, offices, nurse’s station and a teaching kitchen. Alliance Medical
Ministry provides affordable medical care for low-income, uninsured working families in
Wake County, reducing the number of patients who have to go to the emergency rooms
for more expensive care. The organization has provided on-going care for about 5,000 patients
and had more than 30,000 patient visits in its first three years. www.alliancemedicalministry.org
Miracle League of the Triangle
The Miracle League of the Triangle helps open doors for youth who face physical and
mental challenges that limit their abilities to play organized athletics. Bobbitt supported
the organization with a donation of services and materials to develop a specially designed
baseball field equipped with a rubberized playing surface to accommodate children with
wheelchairs. With the new Miracle League Field, these children now have an outdoor
baseball field to call their own. http://www.miracleleagueofthetriangle.com/miracle/
Bob the Builder “Canstruction”
Bobbitt has participated every year since 2001 in the “Canstruction” exhibit at Marbles/
Playspace children’s museum. We volunteer by selecting and ordering cans, making
templates and props, and building the sculpture with participation and generous support
from Bobbitt employees and family. Nicknamed Bob, our builder is made of more than
3,000 cans and 700 boxes of pudding. It stands next to the “You Can Build It!” interactive
exhibit that allows kids to build their own can sculpture. www.canstruction.org and www.corridorcanstruction.org
Operation Christmas Child
Bobbitt participated in making a child’s day with a shoe box filled with gifts for Christmas
2007. The project, Operation Christmas Child, is part of Samaritan’s Purse. Participants
gathered to pack shoeboxes with small gifts, including school supplies, toys, gloves, hats
and toothbrushes. The boxes were packed and shipped to boys and girls of various ages
all over the world, each living under different, difficult circumstances. www.samaritanspurse.org.
