On behalf of PUSH Buffalo, Buffalo ReUse, AmeriCorps and Re-Tree WNY, as well as The Powell Family–we thank you for joining us all in thanking David Homes for their investment and commitment to the Western New York community.

Folks met The Powell Family, mingled and learned about the ways they can volunteer and contribute to neighborhood improvements. Channel 7 featured a documentary of behind-the-scenes footage of the 106 hours of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition when the cast, volunteers, and neighborhood worked around the clock.

Finally, from 8 to 10pm ABC broadcast the Special Buffalo Episode and we all watched together as the story unfolded.
