We do that through the support of children's health care and research at both a national & local level. This is our passion. THIS IS OUR 'WHY'.
We are so happy to share that we will be partnering with the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Idaho this year (2022) in hopes that we can assist in easing the burden of families with seriously ill or injured children being treated at a Boise area medical facility.
Berkeley Building Co. is proud to have sponsored the outdoor picnic area at the new #RMHCIdaho House! We celebrated as a team by cooking up a taco bar for the families and enjoying dinner together in the new space. We are honored to partner with the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Idaho, as they provide a greatly needed service housing families while their children undergo much needed medical care in some of their scariest times.
We set a new record with 22,777 tickets sold out in just under 4 HOURS! $2,277,700 raised for the families of St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital and the fight to cure cancer! Congratulations to the 2022 St. Jude Children's Research Hospital Dream Home Winner...William Weaver! Thank you to the Treasure Valley and to all those throughout Idaho who purchased a ticket to support St. Jude!
Always an honor for our company and our team to support St. Luke's Children's Hospital in all that they do for families and children in the community we serve. Kid for a Night was a record-breaking event for St. Luke's Children's Hospital and we enjoyed being there to celebrate alongside them. It is such a great organization that has touched the lives of so many people we know and love.
We are excited to Partner with "ANA," Agency for New Americans, who work tirelessly to facilitate self-sufficiency for refugees "honoring their journey as they take the trauma and loss from their past and transform those experiences into a strong and dignified future."
Our Berkeley Family was proud to support and sponsor the Agency for New Americans Idaho annual gala, raising funds and supporting new American refugee families achieve resettlement, self-sufficiency, and integration into our community.
The Berkeley Building Co. family was honored to wrap our community around the Boise Angels and those experiencing foster care by hosting an evening with barbeque, games, face painting, and a night for all at the Boise Zoo.
On November 18th - 20th, our friends with the Guide Real Estate Services Team at 43 North set up shop at The Village at Meridian for their annual 2x4 Lumber Signing Event to help raise money for the St. Jude Dream Home.
CATCH exists because everyone needs a home. They work to create a safe, healthy, connected community by embracing Housing First best practices, empowering those without housing, builder collaborative partnerships, and increasing public understanding to make homelessness rare, brief, and non-recurring. Their vision is to end homelessness in the Treasure Valley! We collected brand new pillows and "like-new" sheets and bedding to help support their cause.
Katie Westhora with Silvercreek Realty was the winner of our "Win Something for Yourself & Give a Little Something Back" raffle at our open house in the beautiful Hope Springs community! She selected "Our Underground Railroad" and their fight to end child trafficking as her recipient of choice for the donation winnings, and then she donated her personal winnings to Evan Young and his family, who recently survived an accident at Summer Camp that left Evan with quadriplegia. When we called to let her know, she knew it was meant to be...and now so do we.

At a local level, we're heavily involved at the St. Luke's Children's hospital. The founder of our company, Joe Atalla, serves on the advisory board in support of their fundraiser efforts. As the donor for the new Pediatric Cardiology Clinic, we are honored to support the 1 in 100 children, throughout the Treasure Valley, who suffer from a congenital heart defect. The clinic is changing the way our children receive medical care especially for those who need the most complex levels of treatment.

Make-A-Wish Grantor
We, at Berkeley Building Co., couldn't have been more excited when contacted by Make-A-Wish to see if we would be interested in building a Playhouse for one of their Wish Kids who suffers from Cardiomyopathy. Without thought, we accepted the challenge and got to meet up with Jacob, a vivacious 6 year old who had a very definite idea what he was looking for. His wish list: A Phones & Ferb playhouse with an HVAC System, refrigerator, microwave, TV, DVD player, popcorn maker, an area for crafts, a place to sleep with his friends and siblings...and last but not least...a slide out the side. Our heads were spinning and we went to work with the help of our awesome team of generous subcontractors and suppliers. The result was a very happy 6 year old boy and this playhouse any kid would be excited to call their own.
St. Luke's Children's Play House Auction
It was so much fun to design, build, and auction off both of these luxury playhouses in 2011 & 2012. 100% of the ticket sells were donated to St. Luke's Children's Hospital.
