LENNAR COO FRED ROTHMAN HONORED WITH LEE GREENWOOD PATRIOT AWARD IN RECOGNITION OF CONTRIBUTIONS TO HOUSING WOUNDED VETERANS
"The men and women who risk their lives to protect all of us and our democracy are heroes who deserve our gratitude," said Rothman. "It's a privilege to make sure those brave service members who sacrificed on our behalf have new, healthy homes built especially for them so they and their families can thrive. While I'm honored to be recognized, they are the true patriots."
Lennar, one of the nation's leading homebuilders, participates in the 100 Homes Challenge organized by Helping a Hero and Bass Pro Shops to build 100 new homes across the country for post-9/11 veterans wounded in the line of duty. The Lee Greenwood Patriot Award recognizes leaders such as Rothman whose efforts have lifted the hearts of wounded warriors.
"One of Lennar's key philanthropic objectives is to broaden access to safe housing for all Americans – and we are honored to build specially-adapted homes that make daily tasks most us take for granted – from cooking dinner to taking a shower – easier for our wounded veterans," said Lennar Executive Chairman Stuart Miller. "Fred's leadership on this effort reflects Lennar's commitment to the communities we serve and his passion for this important cause fuels its success."
A lawyer by training, Rothman joined Lennar in 2006 and was the Eastern Regional President until his promotion to Chief Operating Officer in 2018. In addition to leading Lennar's initiative to house wounded veterans, he is involved with many charitable organizations and is especially active in supporting people with Multiple Sclerosis. Fred is married to his wife of 40 years, Jodi, and has two daughters, Lecia and Alie. When not working, he enjoys fishing on his "Born To Run" Viking sportie, playing pickleball and rummaging around with his best four legged friend, Clarence.
