Press Release Body = Troy, Mich., August 22, 2006 Awecomm Web Strategies (AWS)-a
Troy, Mich.-based provider of Web Design and Web Marketing services-has been
selected by Lombardo Homes and American Heartland Homes to provide Web Design, Web
Marketing, Blogging, and Web Hosting services for ABC's Extreme Makeover: Home
Edition's Detroit Project. American Heartland homes, one of Metro Detroit's leading
builders along with Lombardo Homes, the fourth largest homebuilder in Southeastern
Michigan will be building a new home for one lucky Detroit area family.
"Our successful, long-standing relationship with Awecomm, as well as their proven
ability to quickly turn around quality web marketing and design projects under
pressure made them a clear choice for this exciting project," said Bob Moesta, Vice
President of Sales and Marketing at Lombardo.
The website (http://www.ExtremeHomeDetroit.com) will allow visitors to make monetary
donations, donate food and goods, volunteer their time to help with the construction
of the home, and allow a worldwide audience to gain access to information about the
show. An interactive blog has also been designed and donated to the project by AWS
that will give volunteers the ability to share their thoughts and emotions with the
rest of the world.
In addition to the design of the website and blog, Awecomm was able to further
assist the family by facilitating the donation of seven college scholarships by the
University of Phoenix. These scholarships will ensure that each member of the
Gilliam family will have the opportunity to further their education at an
exceptional university.
"To anyone who's ever seen the show, no explanation is necessary about how exciting
it is to be involved," said Chris Spiek, Vice President of Awecomm, "I never would
have imagined that our team would be presented with the opportunity to use our web
marketing expertise for such a great cause."
ABC's Extreme Makeover: Home Edition helps families who have had challenging lives,
bad luck and desperately need a home makeover. They give these very deserving
families new hope, a new start and a most importantly a new home. Extreme Makeover:
