ADS Security Participates in The Nashville Build for Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
9/10/2010
Nashville, TN – ADS Security (ADS) announces their participation, as a Strategic Partner, in The Nashville Build for the Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.
For over eight years, the reality show Extreme Makeover: Home Edition has been transforming houses and lives from coast-to-coast. Now, the popular ABC show has set its sights on the Nashville community.
Today, LP Building Products and HARDAWAY Construction Corp., in partnership with Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, announced that they will rebuild Lighthouse Preschool, located at 5100 Blue Hole Road in Antioch, which was completely demolished during the historic flooding in May. The Sweatt family, who has been running the school since 2003, was at the heart of the disaster and has helped over 200 local families with shelter, food, water, clothing, counseling and other services during the recovery.
Sadly, Lighthouse School, with finances nearly depleted, was in jeopardy of closing within 24 months, if they did not find the necessary resources to rebuild soon. Fortunately, The Nashville Build project has stepped in to help the Sweatt family and Lighthouse Preschool get back on their feet. Thousands of man-hours will be required to complete the project, which would typically take six months, in six days.
“Nashville pulled together as a community and weathered the severe storms and flooding that occurred in May. ADS Security is proud to partner with LP and HARDAWAY Construction to donate a state-of-the-art security system and help secure a brighter future for our community,” says John Cerasuolo, ADS President and COO.
A Pep Rally was held at Belmont University on Friday, September 3rd to celebrate the official kickoff of The Nashville Build which starts today with a knock on the door by designer Ty Pennington and his design team, and demolition shortly to follow.
Craig Leyers, ADS-Nashville General Manager, states “When we were presented with the opportunity to be involved in this project, we knew that it would be a great fit. Our organization is adept at meeting tight deadlines and has many eager associates who are focused on supporting our community.” Leyers goes on to say, “This project is a great example of teamwork uniting our associates, vendor partners and the entire Nashville community.”
Spectators are welcome 24 hours a day throughout the entire build and community involvement is encouraged to make the project a success.
