Extreme Makeover - Rotary Edition
Sam Clifton, a member of the Rotary Club of Springfield Southeast, Missouri, isn't letting his 15 minutes of fame go to his head. In fact, if he had his way, no one would know his company led the build on the TV reality show Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, which provides new homes for families in need. "I asked the producers if I could do this without being known. I didn't want the media attention. But then I thought about how great it would be to get other people in front of the camera, especially guys in the construction business who've been going through a rough time," says Clifton. The rest is showbiz history. More than 600 skilled laborers -- some unemployed and many from competing firms -- volunteered to help build a 3,300-square-foot home in just six days starting 14 July.
Among the key players were two members of Clifton's Rotary club, Judy Bilyeu and Michael Wehrenberg. The corporate marketing director of Metro Builders Supply, Bilyeu helped with fundraising and recruiting volunteers. Wehrenberg, who is president of Wehrenberg Design Company, developed the project's Web site and was responsible for volunteer recruitment, donor recognition, and scheduling updates, as well as supplying a visual timeline through photos.
The episode is scheduled to air during the show's seventh season on the ABC Television Network. | |
