At BLS Painting, we believe that a home is more than just a structure, it is a sanctuary. This philosophy extends beyond the high-end residential properties we transform across Austin and into the very heart of the communities we serve. For Erick Luna, Vice President and Senior Project Manager, the commitment to excellence doesn't end when the final coat of paint dries. It continues through a lifelong passion for stewardship, leadership, and volunteerism.
Over the past decade, Erick has become a pillar of the Santa Cruz Catholic Church & School community in Buda, Texas. His dedication to service has not only helped secure the financial future of the parish but has also fostered a thriving environment for local families and youth.
A Legacy of Giving: Raising Over $500,000 for Local Education
Volunteer work is one of Erick’s favorite things to do. For him, it isn’t just about "giving back", it’s about actively building a foundation where the next generation can flourish. Over the last ten years, Erick has chaired multiple fundraising events for Santa Cruz, bringing a level of professional precision and passion to every gala, auction, and community drive.
Through his tireless efforts and the generosity of the community, Erick has helped fundraise over half a million dollars. These funds have been instrumental in:
- Enhancing Educational Resources: Providing students with the tools they need to excel in a competitive world.
- Infrastructure Improvements: Maintaining the beautiful facilities that serve as a spiritual and educational home for over 3,000 families.
- Scholarship Opportunities: Ensuring that a high-quality, values-based education is accessible to families throughout the Buda and Austin area.
Strategic Leadership: From the School Board to the Finance Council
Erick’s contribution to Santa Cruz goes far beyond financial support. He understands that for any organization to thrive, whether it’s a high-end painting company or a thriving parish, it requires sound strategy and expert leadership.
Erick served with distinction on the Santa Cruz Catholic School Advisory School Board, where he helped shape the school’s long-term vision. His background as a Senior Project Manager at BLS Painting allowed him to bring a unique perspective on logistics, project management, and community engagement to the board.
Currently, Erick serves on the Santa Cruz Catholic Church & School Finance Council. In this vital role, he acts as a trusted advisor to the parish priest. His responsibilities include:
- Advising on Financial Decisions: Ensuring that every dollar donated is used efficiently to benefit the parish and its mission.
- Planning for Community Growth: As Buda and the surrounding Austin areas continue to expand, Erick helps navigate the challenges and opportunities of a growing congregation.
- Youth Development: Strategizing ways to engage the younger generation, providing them with leadership opportunities and a strong sense of community.
Bridging Professional Excellence and Community Service
The same meticulous attention to detail that Erick applies to a luxury cabinet refinishing project or a complex exterior stucco repainting is exactly what he brings to his volunteer work. At BLS Painting, we often say, "It’s not just a color, it’s a lifestyle." Erick lives this mantra by investing his time and expertise into the lifestyle and well-being of his neighbors.
"When you lead a project for a client in Westlake or Tarrytown, they trust you with their most valuable asset," Erick says. "Serving on the Finance Council is a similar trust. You are responsible for the collective assets of a community that relies on you to make the right calls for their future."
Investing in the Future of Austin and Buda
Erick’s focus on youth development is a cornerstone of his service. He believes that by empowering the youth of Santa Cruz, we are building a stronger, more resilient Austin. This commitment to the next generation mirrors BLS Painting’s own dedication to the future of our craft. Through initiatives like the BLS Painting Academy, we are constantly looking for ways to elevate the industry and provide professional growth for our team members.
Whether he is advising the priest on a new facility project or overseeing a high-end interior transformation in Spanish Oaks, Erick Luna remains driven by a single goal: to leave things better than he found them.
