The 1st Annual Regina Extreme Home Makeover was a huge success! The journey started with a dream to help out a family deserving a new beginning and quickly became a reality as the wheels were put in motion. Through a vigorous application process, the Culbert Family was selected as Regina’s first family to receive a much-needed home makeover. With over 80 local sponsors onboard, demolition on the Culbert’s home began on August 6, 2009. With the help of many contractors and volunteers, the house designed specifically for the family quickly took shape and on September 15, 2009 the family was welcomed back to their new home with a crowd of friends and family there to show their support.The Culbert family arrived to their home shortly before the grand reveal, where they stood behind a huge double-decker bus, anticipating the revelation of their new home. As in the TV series, the crowd chanted “move that bus” and the Culbert’s new home was exposed as the bus drove out of the way. The excitement and emotion was felt throughout the crowd, with tears of joy shared by many as Dawn, Colton, and Kelsey saw their new home for the very first time.
This is what it was all about from the very beginning. Everyone at some point in their life requires a helping hand and with the support of over 80 sponsors and hundreds of hours of volunteer work, Regina showed the Culbert Family a miracle. Sponsorship was of essence to make this dream come true, and to each and every organization out there that assisted in this project, we sincerely thank you. To all the volunteers that came out to lend a hand in any way shape or form; we couldn’t have done it without you.
The success of the 1st Annual Regina Extreme Home Makeover is one that is to be shared by all. “Nobody can do everything, but everyone can do something.” ~ author unknown. Thank you for your generosity and support in helping make this dream come true.
We look forward to next year’s Regina Extreme Home Makeover. Check back frequently for future updates.
You may ask WHY do this?
The "why" is an extremely easy question to answer! Everyone at some point in their life requires a helping hand. With your support and help, we can give Regina's family most in need a miracle. We will take care of something that usually will come last after trying to afford the basic essentials to live along with many other expenses such as medical costs or job losses to list a few. We will create a home that is worthwhile of a family in need in our own proud city, Regina.
