ABOUT MAGICAL BUILDERS:

Magical Builders™ is based on the philosophy that with the vision and talent of our children, we can greatly improve our communities and ourselves by working together for a common good. Magical Builders effectuates this principle by renovating the facilities of non-profit organizations nationwide.

Past Projects of the Magical Builders™ Program Include:

• 2010 MLB All-Star Renovation
