“Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” Returning to Horry County
http://www.mbsun.com/assets_c/2009/12/Extreme Makeover logo-thumb-300x122-2612.jpgExtreme Makeover: Home Edition, the Emmy-award winning hit reality show on ABC Television, will return to Horry County next month to surprise one lucky family with an extreme home makeover, according to a release issued today by the DuRant Agency. With a goal to construct a new house in one week, local builder Sterling Homes has answered the call to change a family's lives for the third time.
Sterling Homes was lead builder in 2007 when Extreme Makeover: Home Edition welcomed Longs resident Renee Wilson and her grandchildren into a brand new home. Sterling Homes was subsequently chosen for the prestigious 50-state reunion build in Hurricane Katrina-ravaged New Orleans.
Ty Pennington, team leader of the show, as well as his design team, will notify the selected family by showing up at the family's residence on Monday, January 11.
In conjunction with the Extreme Makeover build, volunteers will conduct an "Extreme Canned Food Drive" in partnership with Horry County Government and the United Way of Horry County, with the ambitious goal of raising 100 tons of food. Local businesses, clubs, organizations and church groups are encouraged to get involved, and can call the United Way office at 843-347-5195 for more information as well as visit the Extreme build Web site www.ExtremeHorry.com to download the logo for collection display purposes.
The public is also invited to help support volunteers and the entire Extreme Build Team at a special pep rally, to be held in the Wall Auditorium on Coastal Carolina University's campus on Tuesday, January 5, at 10 a.m.
Sterling Homes is actively seeking volunteers, sponsorships and donations for the build. All those interested in participating are encouraged to visit the build's Web site for more information; prospective sponsors may contact Grant Kuhn at (843) 333-6030.
