Maxim Donates Fixtures to Help Cure Cancer

All of the decorative lighting for the 2026 Pelotonia Benefit Home in Michigan is courtesy of Maxim Lighting.

Every year, national builder M/I Homes dedicates 17 “benefit homes” in various areas of the country and donates a portion of the proceeds from the home sales to help fund cancer research at the Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center. This year, Maxim Lighting has donated all of the decorative fixtures for M/I Homes’ Benefit Home in Michigan, in partnership with the nonprofit Pelotonia.

The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center is recognized as a leading institution in the pursuit of groundbreaking cancer treatments and therapies.

This year, Los Angeles-based Maxim Lighting joins M/I Homes of Michigan as a committed partner of the annual Pelotonia Benefit Home, donating all of the decorative lighting for its 2026 build.

In a press release, Maxim Lighting stated, “Year after year, our team collaborates closely to help bring this home to life, reflecting on a relationship built on trust, shared values, and a long-term commitment to the communities we serve. The M/I Homes Benefit Home program brings together builders, manufacturers, and suppliers to construct a home with 100% of the proceeds benefiting Pelotonia and its mission to fund innovative cancer research.”

The 2026 Michigan home is scheduled to begin construction in the coming weeks and will feature Maxim’s donated fixtures as a way to “add comfort, warmth, and thoughtful design to a home created for a purpose beyond the build itself,” the manufacturer said.

“Maxim Lighting has once again stepped up to support M/I Homes of Michigan’s annual Pelotonia Benefit Home by donating lighting fixtures for our 2026 build,” said Max D’Aristotile, vp/purchasing at M/I Homes. “Their contribution will help us complete the home efficiently and on schedule, creating a finished residence that will generate meaningful support for Pelotonia’s groundbreaking cancer research.”

According to Maxim executives, the cause is deeply personal. “Cancer has touched our organization, reaching members of our team. As a family-founded, multi-generational company, we view our team as an extension of family, and that experience strengthens our commitment to show, stay involved, and support work that helps families facing the same fight.”

Adena Sperling, of Maxim Group Companies, remarked, “Pelotonia represents hope and action. We’re honored to work side-by-side with M/I Homes of Michigan on a project that turns industry collaboration into real impact. When cancer affects someone in your own circle, you don’t look at giving back the same way. You show up, you stay involved, and you do what you can to help move research forward for the families who need it.”

The Maxim press release added, “At its core, this initiative reflects the values that guide Maxim: investing in people, showing up for trusted partners, and giving back in a way that matters. Contributions from vendor partners not only elevate the finished home, but also strengthen the collaborative relationships that make projects like this possible year after year. We are grateful for our ongoing collaboration and proud that, together, we can make a meaningful difference, within the homebuilding industry and beyond.”
