KB Home Kicks off Its KB Cares “60 Acts of Kindness” by Beautifying Communities with Paint
National builder partners with Sherwin-Williams with companywide participation in National Painting
Week
In celebration of its 60th Anniversary and as part of its ongoing KB Cares initiative, KB Home (NYSE:KBH) recently
launched its “60 Acts of Kindness,” a series of service activities that KB Home will carry out across the country. These activities
will provide support to the communities where the KB Home team lives, works and builds new homes.
For its first nationwide project, KB Home is teaming up with Sherwin-Williams, its exclusive paint supplier, for the
Sherwin-Williams National Painting Week initiative. Across the country, KB Home employees will work shoulder-to-shoulder with the
local Sherwin-Williams team members to help revitalize communities with fresh paint and vibrant color.
KB Home will be refreshing spaces coast to coast, including community centers, schools, shelters, and public recreational
spaces. Sherwin-Williams is donating the paint and supplies for the projects as well as assisting with logistics.
“Our KB Cares ‘60 Acts of Kindness’ projects celebrate our commitment to our homeowners and the communities we serve,” said
Jeffrey Mezger, KB Home’s chairman, president, and CEO. “We are proud to participate in Sherwin-Williams’ sixth annual National
Painting Week campaign to beautify community spaces. For the past sixteen years, Sherwin-Williams’ paint has adorned every new KB
home and plays an integral role in our ongoing efforts to build houses in which families can feel at home. With National Painting
Week, we will team up once again to bring this shared focus to the broader community.”
“Sherwin-Williams and KB Home have been great partners for almost two decades, sharing similar values such as the importance of
giving back to the communities in which we live and work,” said Tom Little, national director of homebuilder sales,
Sherwin-Williams. “We’re thrilled to join forces this year and extend our partnership to amplify our efforts
even further.”
