It wasn't a typical night of baseball on June 18, 2024 at Truist Field in Charlotte as US Army Special Operations Sergeant First Class Jacob Schanck and his family were escorted onto the field thinking he was being honored as Veteran of the Charlotte Knight's Game. It was there they were surprised with the lifechanging news - a promise of a mortgage-free home from PulteGroup's Built to Honor®program. The week following, the Schanck family broke ground on their new home, which is planned to be complete by late 2024.
Following in his family's footsteps, Special Operations Sergeant First Class Schanck enlisted in the US Army after high school. He served for nearly two decades, which included five overseas deployments. During his time in the service, he endured many physical and psychological injuries that continue to impact his daily life. Because of his bravery, Special Operations Sergeant First Class Schanck is the recipient of three Bronze Star medals.
PulteGroup is partnering with Building Homes for Heroes, a national non-profit organization devoted to bringing renewed hope and service to injured veterans, to build the Schanck family's home. The Built to Honor program has provided the gift of a newly-constructed, mortgage-free home to veterans injured during their term of service throughout the country since 2013.
