Raymond had over 40 team members take part by walking in honor of loved ones and in support of a future without cancer. Together, our team helped contribute to  more than $1 million raised to advance cancer research and treatment innovations.

A huge thank-you to everyone who participated, donated, or cheered us on! Your passion and generosity truly reflect The Raymond Way, building stronger communities through teamwork, compassion, and purpose.

Raymond stick-built the facility’s first floor, then installed wall and floor panels (produced by a Standard/Nevell joint venture) along with finish work for floors two through 10.

The UC San Diego Shake Table is the only outdoor facility of its kind in the world — and the only simulator capable of testing a 10-story building.

The first group boarded the Do Good Bus, an organization that combines team-building with community service. Their destination was the Orangewood Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting young people transitioning from foster care to independence. Our volunteers spent the day cleaning, painting, and completing repairs at one of Orangewood’s living facilities—making a difference while building connections with their teammates and having fun along the way.

The second group stayed onsite and created Kynd Kits to support various causes. Volunteers assembled:

• Cancer Care Kits filled with comforting items for patients undergoing treatment, to be donated to nonprofit organization PIH Health, serving residents in Los Angeles and Orange County.

• Fidget Blankets for children in hospitals, to be donated to PIH Health.

• Rescue Dog Kits complete with handmade beds and toys for shelter animals, to be donated to nonprofit animal welfare organization Priceless Pets, located in Costa Mesa, California.

Each kit was designed to bring joy and support to someone in need.

To close out the day, everyone came together to celebrate their efforts with a visit from a dessert truck—sweetening a day full of generosity and teamwork.

Throughout the event, Raymond provided equipment and mentors (skilled carpenters) to teach campers various construction techniques like roof sheathing, framing, interior drywall, exterior siding, housekeeping, and painting.

Created as a community outreach to increase interest in the construction industry among women, FCL Camp provides skills that last long after the program ends. For more information, visit https://www.futureconstructionleaders.org/.

Rebuilding Together San Diego is a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the homes and lives of low-income homeowners, particularly seniors, veterans, and individuals with disabilities, by providing free home repairs and renovations. They focus on ensuring these residents can live in safe, healthy, and independent environments.

Thank you to Clark Construction for including us in the event, which they have been part of for many years. It’s an opportunity for communities to come together, giving back to those who need it most while making a lasting impact on neighborhoods.

The Project Mercy Baja Challenge has been taking place for 24 years now with the goal of improving the standard of living and reducing health hazards for impoverished families in the colonies east of Tijuana, Mexico. This year’s event, which took place on Saturday, October 5, 2024, was a coordinated effort between the non-profit organization Project Mercy and Baja Challenge. Raymond provided a volunteer building crew as well as donations for building materials.

The family who received support from this year’s Baja Build expressed their gratitude, saying, “What you are doing is a tremendous blessing to our family.” Each year, Raymond feels deeply honored to give back to our neighboring communities. We are grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with such generous organizations and industry partners.

This award reflects ENR editors’ evaluation of Raymond’s achievements, including our support for small and disadvantaged businesses and our certification as a Women’s Business Enterprise (WBE). ENR recognized Raymond’s commitment to encouraging women to become part of the industry through initiatives like the Future Construction Leaders Foundation Camp for Teen Girls in San Diego.

Factored into the award was Raymond’s 2023 revenue, and contributing projects like Horton Plaza San Diego (a LEED Platinum live, work, play campus), Intuit Dome (home of the NBA Clippers in Inglewood), and Chicken Ranch Casino in Northern California.

On the safety front, Raymond’s San Diego region completed three years without a recordable incident in 2023, and in 2024 our Northern California and Las Vegas regions completed one year incident free.

Raymond will be profiled in the December 16, 2024 print edition of ENR California, which will also include the annual California and Northwest Top Specialty Contractors rankings. Read ENR California’s announcement of the 2024 Specialty Contractor of the Year here.
