LAKEWOOD RANCH, Fla. (June 3, 2025) – Neal Communities, southwest Florida’s premier, private homebuilder, has donated $25,000 to Healthy Teens, an organization dedicated to the success and wellbeing of Florida teens in Manatee and Sarasota Counties.
Healthy Teens’ mission is to empower youth to make positive, healthy decisions, providing peer-based health and life skills education and mentoring to hundreds of local youths between the ages of 11 and 25 each year. The donation from Neal Communities will support this work by funding further education scholarships and local programming.
“Neal Communities’ generous donation of $25,000 to Healthy Teens is more than just a financial gift; it is an investment in our community’s future,” says Mary Ann Legler, APRN, Founder and Chair of the Board of Directors for Healthy Teens, Inc. “By funding scholarships for local youth who provide peer health education through their volunteer work with Healthy Teens, Neal Communities is empowering the next generation of leaders to shape healthier communities, one informed and passionate teen at a time. This contribution isn’t just about today—it’s about creating a lasting impact on the well-being of our youth and the entire community for years to come.”
The $25,000 sponsorship will partly be used to fund a scholarship contest for high-school seniors currently volunteering with Healthy Teens as Teen Health Educators. The scholarships were awarded at Healthy Teens’ flagship event, the annual Youth Health Awards which took place in May. Neal Communities was the presenting sponsor for the event.
“Healthy Teens provides a setting for students to learn about business, relationships and helping others,” says Pat Neal, founder and chairman of Neal Communities. “We are proud to invest in the region’s youth by supporting an organization that helps young people succeed in life.”
Founded in 2010, Healthy Teens has helped more than 175 Teen Health Educators receive leadership and public-speaking experience, provided peer education sessions for more than 10,000 teens, and worked with more than 60 organizations and agencies to help teens learn about topics such as mental health and resilience, substance abuse, peer pressure, bullying and much more.
