National Capitol Classic golf fundraiser at the historic Army Navy Country Club, co-hosted with SAIC and Amazon Web Services, raised funds to support these veterans and their families and expand Building Homes for Heroes’ impact nationwide

WASHINGTON, May 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Building Homes for Heroes, joined by corporate partners Science Applications International Corp. (NASDAQ: SAIC) and Amazon Web Services, announced yesterday it will gift mortgage-free homes to U.S. Air Force Staff Sergeant, Gregory Walker and Army Specialist, Ryan Heard, two injured veterans whose service and sacrifice exemplify the very best of our armed forces. The home gifts will provide long-term stability for both veterans and their families as they continue their road to recovery.

These gifts are made possible through the steadfast support of Building Homes for Heroes’ valued partners, SAIC and AWS, and were the highlight of the second annual National Capitol Classic golf outing hosted by the three organizations at the historic Army Navy Country Club. The event brought together corporate partners, community supporters, and veterans to raise awareness and support for Building Homes for Heroes’ mission of building better and brighter lives for our nation’s heroes.

The announcement was the culmination of a day of celebration of our nation’s heroes, as patriotic corporations, hundreds of supporters, and dozens of veterans gathered for the golf outing in support of Building Homes for Heroes’ mission. As the organization marks its 20th anniversary in 2026, it continues to build on its commitment with their 50+500+5,000 campaign: constructing, gifting and modifying a record 50 homes this year, reaching its milestone 500th home before the end of 2026, and supporting more than 5,000 veterans, first responders, and their family members through all its programs since 2006.

The Veterans Receiving Mortgage-Free Homes

Walker enlisted in the Air Force in 2008 and served for more than 12 years, including three deployments to Afghanistan. During his service and in the years following, Walker was diagnosed with Synovial Sarcoma, a rare cancer that ultimately resulted in the amputation of his left leg below the knee. Despite these challenges, he has remained deeply committed to his fellow veterans and the adaptive sports community, competing in the Invictus Games and training to become a Paralympic athlete.

“Presenting Staff Sergeant Walker and Specialist Heard with mortgage-free homes is a powerful reminder of our responsibility to the men and women who have served our country,” said Andy Pujol, founder and CEO of Building Homes for Heroes. “Between Staff Sergeant Walker’s determination in the face of a life-changing diagnosis, and Specialist Heard’s courage under fire in Afghanistan and his ongoing recovery from a traumatic brain injury, these are the stories that drive our mission every day. Homes like these are made possible through our valued partnerships with organizations like SAIC and AWS, whose unwavering support allows us to create life-changing moments for deserving heroes and their families.”

Inspired by his father’s 23 years of service in the Florida National Guard and driven by the events of September 11, 2001, Heard enlisted in the Army in February 2007 out of Jacksonville, Florida. During his more than six years of service, Heard completed two deployments to Iraq and one to Afghanistan. On July 7, 2013, while conducting a counter-IED mission in Afghanistan’s Logar Province, he and three fellow soldiers triggered a pressure-plate IED. The explosion left him with a severe traumatic brain injury, and despite his injuries, he helped treat wounded comrades and coordinate medical evacuation before losing consciousness. Today, Heard lives with a TBI, PTSD, chronic migraines, and numerous other service-connected conditions, and has found healing through nature-based therapy, including fishing, kayaking, and equine therapy programs for veterans. He is a Purple Heart recipient, and together with his partner, is raising two young children, driven by his dreams of providing a stable home for his family in Tampa, Florida.

“Helping warriors like Staff Sergeant Walker and Specialist Heard with mortgage-free homes is a great way to take purposeful action during Military Appreciation Month,” said SAIC CEO Jim Reagan. “SAIC is proud to collaborate with Amazon Web Services and the many other corporate partners who attended today’s golf fundraiser for Building Homes for Heroes, an extraordinary organization that is making a huge difference for veterans, their families, and Gold Star families.”

MarketView integrates verified spot exchange and OTC broker pricing with full-spectrum energy markets, giving trading and risk teams a single, authoritative view of price formation across environmental and energy commodities

NEW YORK and AUSTIN, Texas, May 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Enverus and Xpansiv today announced an expanded partnership that brings Xpansiv CBL spot exchange transaction data and Evolution Markets forward indicative pricing for energy and environmental commodity markets into MarketView®, creating a consolidated price discovery and workflow platform across energy and environmental commodity markets.

Currently, exchange prices, OTC broker assessments, and core commodity data have lived in separate systems, forcing traders and risk teams to reconcile incomplete views of the market. The new offering harmonizes disparate environmental commodity data for market participants, including trading houses, brokers, financial institutions and corporate buyers. MarketView now eliminates that fragmentation by bringing the most critical pricing signals together.

MarketView already serves more than 8,000 users across 500+ client sites, delivering real-time access to energy, commodity, and financial data from more than 500 providers across all major global exchanges, North American power ISOs, and leading price reporting agencies including OPIS, Argus, Platts, ICIS, and Fastmarkets. The addition of CBL and Evolution Markets data extends that trusted foundation into environmental commodity markets.

With the addition of CBL and Evolution Markets data from Xpansiv, market participants can now access:

• Verified exchange transactions and firm orders from CBL, the world’s largest spot marketplace for environmental commodities, including renewable energy certificates (RECs) and carbon credits.
• OTC broker spot and forward pricing from Evolution Markets, an Xpansiv company, covering a broad range of energy and environmental markets.

All data is delivered within a single, continuous workflow used for pricing, risk, and trading decisions.

The integration enables faster and more accurate:

• Defensible mark-to-market valuations grounded in both executable transactions and broker-informed forward curves
• Comprehensive cross-market risk analysis across environmental and traditional energy exposures
• Liquidity-aware trading decisions informed by both exchange activity and OTC market depth

“Environmental markets didn’t lack data, they lacked cohesion,” said Matt Wilcoxson, EVP of Strategic Development, Enverus. “Traders were forced to piece together exchange prices, broker views, and their core positions across multiple systems. MarketView now brings those signals together into a single, trusted view of the market.”

“Xpansiv offers an unmatched source of end-of-day and historical data for environmental and energy commodities, covering both exchange and OTC markets,” said Russell Karas, Senior Vice President, Strategic Market Solutions, Xpansiv. “With Enverus, we’re bringing together spot exchange and OTC data in one place, providing trading, risk, and compliance teams the clarity they need to make faster, more confident decisions grounded in comprehensive market insights.”

CBL is the largest global spot exchange for REC and carbon credit transactions. The venue is integrated with Xpansiv’s comprehensive infrastructure platform and registry network, with a leading position in electricity that covers approximately 30% of global REC issuance, 7% of global renewable electricity generation, and 4% of total global electricity generation.

Its data provides the most authoritative view of executable prices and is a standard reference for mark-to-market valuation, risk modeling, and settlement. Spot market data covering North American and International RECs, carbon credits, Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) credits and Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs) will be available on MarketView. Historical data for RECs and carbon credits extend back to 2016.

Evolution Markets is a leading intermediary in the energy and environmental commodity markets. It disseminates daily forward market data for a range of carbon, renewable energy, US emissions, natural gas, coal, power, and nuclear markets. Historical data dates back as far as 2000 (coal), 2002 (US emissions), 2006 (nuclear), and 2008 (RECs).

By combining exchange-verified data with OTC market color and the broader energy complex, MarketView gives trading desks a complete and consistent view of price formation across markets that were previously siloed.
