M/I Homes Raises More Than $100,000 for Pelotonia in Division's First Year of Participation

Generous Support From Vendor Partners Helps Newly Established Division Make a Meaningful Contribution to Cancer Research

NAPLES, Fla. — Nov. 9, 2026 — M/I Homes, one of the nation's leading homebuilders, is proud to announce that its Fort Myers/Naples Division raised $101,950 for Pelotonia in 2026, marking an impressive milestone in the division's first year participating in the company's longstanding effort to support innovative cancer research. The achievement reflects the generosity, collaboration, and commitment of the division's vendor partners, who joined forces with M/I Homes to make a meaningful difference in the fight against cancer.

As a newly established division, the Fort Myers/Naples team embraced the opportunity to contribute to a cause that has become an important part of M/I Homes' culture of giving back. Together with its valued partners, the division exceeded the $100,000 mark in its inaugural year, demonstrating the impact a community can achieve when it comes together around a shared purpose.

"To raise more than $100,000 in our very first year participating in Pelotonia is something our entire team is incredibly proud of," said Regina Toops, Director of Marketing for M/I Homes Fort Myers/Naples Division. "As a new division, we could not have accomplished this without the generosity and commitment of our incredible vendor partners. Their willingness to support such an important cause speaks volumes about the relationships we've built and the community we're creating. We're honored to be part of an initiative that is making a real difference in the fight against cancer."

M/I Homes has been a dedicated supporter of Pelotonia, a nonprofit organization committed to accelerating innovative cancer research. Through its M/I Benefit Homes program, launched in 2022, the company brings together associates, vendors, trade partners, and distributors to support the mission by donating proceeds from the sale of designated homes.

The initiative has grown into a nationwide effort, enabling M/I Homes divisions across the country to leverage their homebuilding expertise and industry relationships to advance potentially lifesaving research at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC – James).
