$25,000 Donation to the Extreme Makeover: Home Edition Family Build Fund
August 16, 2011 (Middletown, N.Y.) – Continuing their tradition of giving back to the community, Dr. Hal Teitelbaum and his partners at Crystal Run Healthcare have donated $25,000 toward Orange County’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition Family Build Fund. This generous donation has enabled Hearthstone Contracting to place the lumber order for the build which begins this Thursday, August 18th.
“Crystal Run Healthcare is honored to be part of this exciting event and to have an opportunity to give back to our community,” said Dr. Teitelbaum. “We are inspired by the efforts and commitment of all involved to make this family’s dream come true. We feel both privileged and humbled to do our small part.”
The extraordinary grassroots community effort to help change the lives of one deserving local family has united the entire community. Sponsorships, donations of cash, labor, materials and expertise are currently estimated to be valued at up to $1 million. Additionally, more than 1,300 volunteers have already volunteered for the build.
