EXTREME MAKEOVER: HOME EDITION SEASON PREMIER

Sept. 25, 2009 - On September 27, The Jamar Company will feature on the "ABC Extreme Makeover: Home Edition", an Emmy award-winning reality television program, for its hard work and dedication to provide a new home for the Huber Family of South Range, Wis.

ABC chose to use the extreme build as the two-hour season premiere at 6:00 p.m. CST on Sunday, Sept. 27.

The extreme makeover broke ground on August 3, with the door knock of a lifetime. The Huber Family was whisked away to Hawaii while more than 1,400 volunteers, including 35 Jamar employees, 200 businesses and an amazing commitment from the entire community worked hard to make the family�™s dream come true.

"You could just feel the positive energy in the air," said Jamar Project Estimator Tom Meals.

"I am a billing specialist, so it was my first time getting to see some of our craft workers doing what they do every day," said Jamar employee Emily Alms. "I gained a new appreciation for the skills they have."

The combined effort totaled more than 32,000 volunteer hours with 14,500 meals donated to keep the team moving.

Along with volunteer contribution, Jamar and ASDCO, a subsidiary of Jamar, donated an array of building materials including the metal siding and flashing, landscape materials and air distribution handlers and scaffolding.

Just seven days after the Huber Family left their dilapidated farmhouse, the extreme team revealed their new environmentally responsible home to the local firefighter and his family on August 10.

"What I thought was really cool about the build was that just because the house had to be completed in seven days, quality of workmanship was not put aside," Meals said. "It was as though everybody on-site genuinely cared and wanted the Huber Family to have an awesome, well-constructed house, and everyone put the extra effort into their work."

Local nonprofits have benefited from the increased community support. Memorial Blood Center reported 330 registered blood donors and Second Harvest collected 11,359 pounds of food for local food banks.

The Jamar Company appreciates all who volunteered to help with this great cause.
