Extreme Makeover: Home Edition Coming to Midland

Filed under: Featured,Headline,News — Ronn @ 3:16 pm

extremelogoLindsay Spaulding, Casting Producer for Extreme Makeover: Home Edition has issued a casting call for a deserving family in Midland, TX to be the subject of a show for the next season of this ABC Emmy Award Winning series.

In her request, Ms. Spaulding writes:

We’re looking for inspirational members of the community who, for whatever reason, need a new home.  While we know that there are so many families in need all over this country, we want to focus on people that have given back in some way despite their personal hardships.  Some examples from past episodes include The Bliven family of Minot , ND who started a little league baseball program for children with special needs.  And in Indiana , Shawna Farina heads up the local Relay For Life cancer walk for life in honor of her mother’s struggle with the disease and, in an ironic twist of fate, now battles breast cancer herself.  Some of our episodes have focused on people who have been inspirational within their own family.  Amy Hawkins of Hendersonville , TN was left paralyzed after she threw her body over her 2 sons as a tornado ripped apart their home. As you can see, our definition of deserving can be fairly broad.

Attached, is our show flyer, which details what we are looking for and how people can submit their materials to us.  Any assistance you can offer in getting the word out to volunteer, service, and community-building organizations would be deeply appreciated.  All nominations should be sent to extremetexas@gmail.com.

For a flyer with all the details and requirements to submit for this great opportunity, click here.
