ABC’s EXTREME MAKEOVER: HOME EDITION is searching for heroic families!

Do you know someone whose home deserves an Extreme Makeover? If so, the
producers of ABC’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition want to hear from you! Ty
Pennington and his crew have been all across the map and they are ready to drive
that famous bus into your neighborhood.

What does it take to be picked for an Extreme Makeover?
We are in search of real Heroes - people that have amazing strength and who have
put their own needs aside to help someone else. In addition to Heroics, the
producers are looking for families whose homes are in dire need of help. We don’t
want to tear down a nice looking house. We want to see houses that look like they
might fall down on their own!

To be eligible:
A family must own their own single family home and be able to
show producers how a makeover will make a huge difference in their lives.
Interested families should: e-mail a short description of their family story to –
castingnorthcarolina@gmail.com

Nominations must include:
1. The names and ages of each member of the household
2. A description of the major challenges within the home.
3. Explanation of why this family is deserving, Heroic, or a positive role model in
their community.
4. Photos of the family and a photo of the home
5. Don’t forget to include a contact phone number.

The deadline:
for nominations is March 17th, 2008. Don’t Delay!

PLEASE SEND STORY SUBMISSIONS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!
