EXTREME MAKEOVER HOME EDITION AIRS SUNDAY NIGHTS ON ABC AT 8:00PM EST
Limerick, PA – (25-Aug-10) T.P. Trailers, Inc. of Limerick – known as a premier dealer of enclosed cargo trailers, landscape trailers, dump trailers, skid steer trailers, horse trailers, custom trailers and more – is donating its ground-level cargo containers and storage trailers to popular television show, ABC's Extreme Makeover Home Edition (EMHE) which is building a new home for a family in need near Hamburg in Berks County.
Trisha Urban and her one-year-old daughter, Cora, were the family chosen for an extreme home makeover. Trisha's husband, Andy, died of a massive heart attack the morning Cora was born in February of 2009. Andy was born with a congenital heart defect and could not secure health insurance due to the pre-existing condition.
“EMHE was a wonderful experience,” said T.P. Trailers’ owner, Tommy Perkins. “We were happy to be a part of the makeovers and were amazed and gratified to see how communities really come together for the common good. We are looking forward to the Associated Builders and Contractors Construction Rodeo in September, as well. We appreciate when we are able to serve the community.”
T.P. Trailers, Inc. supplied three ground-level cargo containers and one storage trailer to the Hamburg site in August. In addition, they provided a 45’ storage trailer to the Baltimore, MD Extreme Makeover Home Edition site in July. Extreme Makeover Home Edition used these trailers to store the new furniture and supplies which will serve to finish the homes following completion of construction.
T.P.’s generosity to community causes is well documented over the years. They are also an active volunteer and donating committee member of Associated Builders and Contractors, Inc. (ABC) which hosts a fun construction rodeo for families the last Sunday in September. Thousands of people attend the event to learn more about the construction industry while supporting the Make-A-Wish® Foundation and the Merit Shop Scholarship Fund.
T.P. Trailers, Inc. is a family-owned and operated business located in Limerick, PA that began nearly 50 years ago as a truck maintenance facility before expanding into the trailer and storage-container industry nearly 25 years ago.
