Community investment is a core part of who we are at Hobbs & Associates — and the Virginia Beach City Public Schools Education Foundation's annual Pearls of Wisdom fundraiser is one of those events we look forward to every year.
A Beautiful Day for a Great Cause
Held this year at 24th Street Park on the Virginia Beach boardwalk, the Pearls of Wisdom event brought together supporters of public education for an afternoon of sunshine, live music, cold beverages, fresh oysters, and fried fish. The weather cooperated perfectly, and the energy of the crowd reflected the genuine enthusiasm the community has for investing in local schools.
Hobbs & Associates has been a longtime supporter of the VBCPS Education Foundation, and we're proud to continue that tradition. Public education is foundational — for students, for families, and for the communities where we live and work. Supporting organizations that strengthen that foundation is something we take seriously.
Why Hobbs Gives Back
As a company with deep roots in the Hampton Roads area and across the Southeast, we don't see community involvement as a side project. It's part of how we do business. The contractors, engineers, building owners, and facility managers we work with every day are members of the same communities we're invested in. When those communities thrive, everyone benefits.
Events like Pearls of Wisdom are also a natural gathering point — a place where business relationships and personal connections blend together over a shared commitment to something bigger than any one project or contract.
Summer Is Coming — And So Is the Work
As the school year winds down, students aren't the only ones shifting gears. For the commercial HVAC industry, summer is go-season.
With schools, universities, hospitals, and commercial buildings across Virginia, Tennessee, and Alabama needing HVAC service, upgrades, and new installations, the Hobbs & Associates team is ramping up alongside our trade partners to handle what's ahead. When kids are out of school, that's often the window facilities teams have been waiting for — to tackle larger mechanical projects without disrupting daily operations.
Our teams are already coordinating with contractors and building owners on summer project schedules. If you have upcoming HVAC needs — whether it's equipment replacement, a retrofit, or parts sourcing — now is the time to get those conversations started.
Hobbs & Associates is a commercial HVAC manufacturer's representative serving Tennessee, Alabama, Virginia, and the Maryland/DC region. Contact your local office to discuss upcoming summer projects.
