Ply Gem and Darius Rucker are Home for Good
Three-time Grammy Award winner Darius Rucker is partnering with Ply Gem as the 2017 ambassador for its Home for Good project to help hundreds of families build homes across the United States with Habitat for Humanity.
The Ply Gem Home for Good project is a multi-year initiative that includes a donation of over $1 million of exterior building products and funds for Habitat for Humanity to help families build strength and stability through housing. The company will support the project with advertising and social media initiatives to encourage its associates, the building industry—including distributors, builders and remodelers—as well as consumers to support its effort to bring awareness of the need for affordable housing in communities across the country. Last year, Ply Gem featured country music icon Alan Jackson as the ambassador for the project.
“From an early age, my mother always encouraged us to give back,” said Rucker. “Whether it was mowing a neighbor's yard or supporting a friend, I think it's important to give back any time and chance you can. For me, the opportunity to partner with Ply Gem and its Home for Good Project to help so many people at a national level--is incredible. I am really looking forward to what we can do together.”
Through its first year of the Home for Good project, Ply Gem has already donated enough building materials –including windows and siding – to help 300 Habitat homeowner families build their homes.
Ply Gem kicked off the project with a Deck the Halls with Darius Rucker Sweepstakes.
