Extreme t-shirts will be for sale with proceeds benefiting the Family Build Fund. The public is invited and strongly encouraged to attend the "Extreme Makeover Pep Rally" and to volunteer at the build site. This is a FREE event and open to all ages.

"Extreme Makeover: Home Edition," will launch its ninth season this fall. Averaging more than 8 million viewers per show, it's available in 185 counties in 58 languages and has 850,000 Facebook fans. The Greater Kansas City area communities are encouraged to join our "Extreme Makeover" crew by volunteering their time in order to make this build the most meaningful and beneficial makeover yet. Each episode of "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" is self-contained and features a race against time on a project that would ordinarily take at least four months to achieve, involving a team of designers, contractors and several hundred workers who all have just seven days to totally rebuild an entire house - every single room, plus the exterior and landscaping - for free! The result should be a decorator's delight…if it can be done in time.
For more information about the show, please check-out the "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" website at abc.com/ExtremeMakeoverHomeEdition. For information regarding the Greater Northeast Kansas area project, please contact Jenny Kincaid at (816) 550-4382 or jenny ( @ ) socialwrx dot com.
