DELRAY BEACH, FL, UNITED STATES, August 29, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Carl Angus DeSantis Foundation proudly announces that Delray Beach resident Chuck Halberg, founder and president of Stuart & Shelby Home Builders and president of the Delray Citizens for Delray Police, has been named a recipient of the 2025 Catalyst Award. This distinguished honor recognizes individuals who drive positive change and demonstrate exceptional generosity within their communities.

With nearly four decades of experience as a Florida-licensed general contractor, Halberg has established himself not only as a leader in the construction industry but also as a tireless advocate for civic engagement and philanthropy. Throughout his career, he has balanced managing diverse construction projects with deep community involvement and a commitment to causes that enrich Delray Beach and beyond.

“Chuck Halberg has done remarkable work in our community for decades,” said Jeff Perlman, executive director of the Carl Angus DeSantis Foundation. ”He’s been invaluable to so many worthy organizations. We are thrilled to honor him. Chuck is a catalyst, very much in the mold of our founder Carl DeSantis.”

Halberg’s philanthropic impact spans more than 30 initiatives. He is the founder and member of Impact 100 Men of Palm Beach, past chair and current director of Arts Garage, and the creator of Flat Stanley Rides a Harley for Kids and Cops, a charitable motorcycle event supporting children’s programs and law enforcement. His generosity has extended to organizations including Arts Garage, Milagro Center, Achievement Centers for Children & Families, Miracle League of Delray Beach, The Spady Museum, and Roots and Wings. He also established an annual Thanksgiving dinner tradition for Delray Beach Police and Fire Rescue personnel.

“I am deeply honored to receive the Catalyst Award,” said Halberg. “Giving back to the community has always been a personal mission, and I am grateful to the Carl Angus DeSantis Foundation for this recognition.”

The Catalyst Award is presented annually by the Carl Angus DeSantis Foundation to celebrate visionary leaders whose dedication inspires lasting impact and uplifts entire communities.
