Pavers Wrapped for a Purpose Support Construction Angels

Seminole Asphalt wraps awareness around three LeeBoy pavers
Prior to 2024, Pat Giffin of Seminole Asphalt Paving, Inc., Sanford, Florida, hadn’t heard of the work the Construction Angels organization was doing. That changed when he attended the 4th Annual Dobbs Equipment Golf Classic. Dobbs Equipment, LLC, headquartered in Riverview, Florida, is a supporter of Construction Angels, Inc., Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.
“It all started with me back in May 2024 when Dobbs Equipment invited our construction company to the golf tournament they were hosting in Orlando,” Giffin said. “After settling into my room, I noticed there was a pamphlet on Construction Angels. After reading the information, I realized this foundation helps families affected when a tragic death happens in our industry. This foundation has touched our hearts so immensely.”

Construction Angels is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that provides immediate financial assistance and grief counseling to the children (19 years and younger) and spouse left behind when a construction worker is involved in an accidental work-related fatality. The organization offers construction scholarship opportunities to qualified applicants, and additional scholarships to surviving children of a fallen worker. These missions spoke to the heart of Giffin and Seminole Asphalt Paving’s Kenny Floyd.

Seminole Asphalt Paving is a full-service commercial asphalt paving company that serves the state of Florida and specializes in asphalt paving, asphalt repair, sealcoating and all types of pavement maintenance methods. Management is proud of their paving crews, ensuring they’re trained well. Management is also aware of the risk crew members face when they’re working alongside live traffic.
“For 42 years, I have been in this line of work,” Giffin said. “Thank God I have not had to witness any fatal accident myself, but I’ve heard of a lot of them. This is why Kenny Floyd and I think the Construction Angels organization is an awesome organization, helping families put the pieces back together, helping families in their time of need.”
Seminole Asphalt has a unique way of showing the community which worthy causes it supports and added Construction Angels to its stable of organizations. That unique method involves custom wrapping its equipment.
Starting with a 6150 asphalt paver purchased in 2023, the contractor elected to have a patriotic paving machine. The same model was purchased in 2024 and again in 2025. Each model included LeeBoy’s Legend HD screed, automatic temperature control, heated endgates and sloping extensions. And each had its custom detailing executed by ASR Graphics, Inc., Maiden, North Carolina, according to Brian Hall, territory manager for LeeBoy.

“As a longtime LeeBoy partner, Seminole Asphalt Paving has always taken an interest in themed pavers,” Hall explained. “From an American flag themed paver to last year’s Autism Awareness unit, Kenny Floyd and his crew have always looked for a way to raise awareness. After joining Dobbs Equipment at the Golf Classic supporting Construction Angels, next year’s choice was clear. Construction Angels’ contribution to our industry is massive and what a great way to highlight those efforts.”

Others in the Dobbs and LeeBoy family share that sentiment. Bryce Davis, vice president of sales for LeeBoy shared, “In our industry, every manufacturer and contractor has seen all kinds of training. And the biggest item for every job site that I’ve seen is on safety training. Every contractor is more focused on this today than ever before, for very good reasons. Having Construction Angels in this world today brings more attention to our industry in a very positive way. Everyone at LeeBoy wants to thank Construction Angels for what they stand for and the support they give our industry.”
