Building Better Futures

Philanthropy and supporting our communities are critical pieces of the W. L. Butler DNA. Doing what is right socially, economically and environmentally is not only part of our history and culture, but our responsibility as good corporate citizens. This commitment is about much more than simply writing a check. We're actively involved in charitable pursuits, allocating time, resources and construction expertise to create change for those who need it most.

It is our goal to support local charities that we feel have a positive impact on the youth, disabled, elderly and those in need of proper housing within the communities where we live and work. Frank York, President

Our WLB Elves were hard at work buying, wrapping and delivering gifts to over 150 kids and 25 staff/aides. We are humbled to be a part of their holiday event each year.

ADOPT-A-FAMILY: The holiday season is about to be a bit brighter at the Thomas House Family Shelter! Our Irvine elves participated in the Adopt-A-Family program again this year to fulfill the wishes of 7 families.

CRUISE OF LIGHTS: W. L. Butler is a proud sponsor of CSR Children’s Foundation and their mission to introduce watersport experiences to enhance the lives of children challenged by mental or physical disabilities. We organized and arranged for a 85’ boat to transport many of these families through the spectacular Cruise of Lights in Huntington Beach
