What a day!
It started—I don’t want to even tell you how early. Let’s just say that at 6:15, I was giving my first interview of the day on the WRTV-6 morning show as we announced that ABC’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition was coming to town—and Estridge was going to build the home for a very deserving family. Then it was off to a radio interview at Hank FM before heading to the big press conference with Mayor Ballard. All this media work is pretty draining……21 hours since the day started.But it’s all for an amazing cause. And the outpouring of support we’ve already experienced is remarkable. The major, the city, our partners and vendors, our own friends and neighbors—everyone who’s been asked to step up has jumped at the chance to help jumpstart change in our community.
Stay tuned—because we won’t all find out who the Extreme Makeover: Home Edition family will be until Friday, March 27, when Ty Pennington knocks on their door and sets the whole amazing week in motion.
In the meantime, check out photos of the press conference on our We Build Together site. You can also sign up to follow the whole great story on Twitter and Facebook.
We did a lot of Good Building today.
