Tallahassee, FL – October 28, 2022 – Celebrating the fifth year of Boys Town North
Florida’s pre-imminent fall fundraising event, ‘Raise the Roof,’ the organization secured
$45,000 in two hours with the support of title sponsor, Tadlock Roofing, community
members, and business owners alike.
To put these numbers into perspective, the annual cost of one home is $80,000. This
pays for groceries, utilities, clothing, educational assistance, family outings, etc.
Since the fundraising event!s inception, local roofing contractor, Tadlock Roofing, has
served as the presenting sponsor. This year, Tadlock Roofing committed to donating
$5,000 and surprised the board and members of Boys Town North Florida with an
additional $5,000 donation, bringing the total to $10,000. Tadlock Roofing Founder and
President, Dale Tadlock, and his family know first-hand the support Boys Town North
Florida provides for a family in need of professional guidance.
“As a family, we have dedicated our lives to raising our three biological and four adopted
children. There was a time, in his teens when our adopted son was facing behavioral
issues and we sought professional help from Boys Town North Florida,” says Tadlock.
“We are forever grateful for the healing their team did for our son and our family.”
