Community Involvement
How Fritcher Gives Back
Our company was built on the strength of our East Texas community. We continue to build our legacy by supporting the neighborhoods where our own families live and work.
Fritcher has been able to thrive thanks to the people who call this region home. And we know it's a fundamental responsibility to reinvest our resources and services back into the community that support us.
Clearing disaster debris for residents and sponsoring local youth agriculture programs is all part of how we help construct a more resilient future for the next generation.
Bringing Hope With Our Pink Dump Truck
You may have seen this unique symbol of resilience on our job sites or around town. Tina has been with us since the beginning and operates our signature pink dump truck. As a breast cancer survivor herself, she has transformed her story into a mobile ministry.
This truck is a local beacon of encouragement and a reminder of what we can overcome together. We regularly partner with Hospitality Health ER in Tyler, TX, to gather donations that support local breast cancer initiatives.
Supporting Youth Agriculture & Education
We believe the future of our region rests in the hands of the next generation. Our team actively invests in local youth by supporting the Smith County Junior Livestock Show and the Van Zandt County Junior Livestock events.
Purchasing animals raised by hardworking students allows us to give back directly to the communities where we operate. We also sponsor various agricultural programs and sports teams to help young people develop a strong work ethic.
Backing First Responders & Law Enforcement
A thriving community requires the dedication of those who protect and serve. We proudly stand behind the men and women who keep our neighborhoods secure. Our company provides ongoing support to the Smith County Peace Officers Association and other first responder organizations.
We also sponsor events like the Greater Tyler Association of Realtors First Responder Dinner, a night dedicated to our local heroes. Backing organizations like this is our way of expressing genuine gratitude for the sacrifices they make every day.
Rebuilding Lives After Devastating Disasters
When tragedy strikes, we deploy our fleet to help our neighbors recover. Our crews have cleared debris and prepared sites for over a dozen homes destroyed by fires and tornadoes. We provide this labor at no cost to the affected families.
Clearing the wreckage and making a clean, stable site is the first step toward moving forward after disaster. By preparing these properties for reconstruction, we give families the firm ground they need to start rebuilding their lives.
Sponsoring Local Fairs & Family Events
Celebrating local traditions brings our entire region together. We are proud sponsors of the East Texas State Fair and PRCA Rodeo, as well as the Houston Rodeo. Being part of the Go Texan initiative allows us to honor our deep roots in the state.
We also partner with the Junior League of Tyler for the annual Touch-A-Truck event at Green Acres. Allowing children to sit behind the wheel of our heavy machinery sparks their imagination. We love seeing families gather for these memorable events.
We're All Part of One Community
We leverage our construction expertise to improve the facilities of vital local organizations. When the East Texas Crisis Center experienced flooding that closed several rooms, our crews completely revamped their drainage system so they could safely reopen. We also provided materials and labor to pave a parking lot for a local church.
We may be a local business, but we never forget that the "local" part is what matters most. Hard times can happen to anyone. By staying involved in our community, we stay ready to help when help is what's needed most.
