Three-time GRAMMY Award winner Darius Rucker is partnering with Ply Gem<\/a> as the 2017 ambassador for the Home for Good project to help hundreds of families build homes across the U.S. with Habitat for Humanity<\/a>. Ply Gem\u2019s commitment to the belief that everyone deserves a place to call home aligns with Darius\u2019 core values as well as themes across his music.<\/p>\n

The Ply Gem Home for Good project is a multi-year initiative that includes a donation of over $1 million of exterior building products and funds for Habitat for Humanity to help families build strength and stability through housing. The company will support the project with advertising and social media initiatives to encourage its associates, the building industry\u2014including distributors, builders and remodelers\u2014as well as consumers to bring awareness of the need for affordable housing in communities across the country. Last year, Ply Gem featured country music icon Alan Jackson as the ambassador for the project.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom an early age, my mother always encouraged us to give back,\u201d shares Rucker. \u201cWhether it was mowing a neighbor’s yard or supporting a friend, I think it’s important to give back any time and chance you can. For me, the opportunity to partner with Ply Gem and its Home for Good Project to help so many people at a national level is incredible. I am really looking forward to what we can do together.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to have Darius Rucker join us as the 2017 Ply Gem Home for Good project ambassador. He shares our passion for giving back to the community and conviction that every American deserves a safe and decent place they can be proud to call home,\u201d states\u00a0Gary E. Robinette, chairman and CEO, Ply Gem. \u201cWe are committed to the Home for Good project and look forward to partnering with Darius, Habitat for Humanity and families across the U.S. in 2017.\u201d<\/p>\n

Through their first year of the Home for Good project, Ply Gem has donated enough building materials \u2013including windows and siding \u2013 to help 300 Habitat homeowner families build their homes.<\/p>\n

As a way to kick off the Home for Good project, the Ply Gem Deck the Halls with Darius Rucker Sweepstakes has opened. Contestants can learn more about how to enter by visiting www.dariusrucker.com\/plygem.
