Schloegel Design Remodel Goes to the Extreme for the American Stroke Foundation
Home Remodeling Company's Staff Pitch In To Spruce Up Not-for-Profit’s New Kansas City Headquarters
(PRWEB) June 3, 2005 -- Ty Pennington and the “Extreme Home Makeover” crew
aren’t the only ones who’ve been busy putting their construction skills to work
for a good local cause. This past Saturday, a group of 20 employees from Kansas
City, Mo.-based Schloegel Design Remodel, together with their families,
descended on the new Kansas City headquarters of the American Stroke Foundation
to help the not-for-profit agency prepare the new facility for its mid-July
opening.
The 3,000 square-foot facility, located at
5900 Swope Parkway, will offer a complete range of services for stroke
survivors, their caregivers, and members of the health care and research
community. In preparation for opening, the Schloegel team donated more than 200
man-hours to the remodeling project. Schloegel obtained donated sinks, faucets
and paint, relaminated kitchen cabinets, moved partitions and painted the entire
space.
“We’re so grateful to the entire Schloegel
Design Remodel team — and their families — for taking the time and energy to
make our new Missouri headquarters a warm and inviting space for our stroke
survivors and their caregivers,” said Rita Griffith, executive director,
American Stroke Foundation. “We are very blessed to have corporate partners like
Schloegel supporting our efforts.”
According to
Schloegel Design Remodel, Inc. Founder and President Jake Schloegel, community
projects such as this week’s work for the American Stroke Foundation are an
important element in his company’s business philosophy. “We are always on the
lookout for ways to give back to the community,” he said. “When we learned about
the opportunity to pitch in for the American Stroke Foundation, our team didn’t
hesitate.”
