| Bon Jovi Says Habitat families Can Go Home Jon Bon Jovi and Habitat for Humanity will build homes in Philadelphia through Summer '06 thanks to a donation from Sprint in partnership with Jon Bon Jovi and the Philadelphia Soul. Last October, Bon Jovi, Habitat, Philadelphia Soul team members, local volunteers and families, and corporate sponsors (Comcast, SAP, Sprint, and The Strober Organization) gathered on a build site in Philly to formally announce a partnership to build two duplexes (four homes). The site also served as the location for Bon Jovi's music video for "Who Says You Can't Go Home, " which highlights the efforts of Habitat families and local volunteers whose work continues. During halftime, Jon Bon Jovi and Habitat representatives revealed that House 1 is expected be complete in Mid-May and House 2 will be ready in August. On-hand were three of the Habitat families who are in the process of completing the requisite man-hours and courses and have been assigned one of these homes. Sprint, who sponsored Bon Jovi's top-grossing Have A Nice Day Tour, presented a check for $200, 000 to Habitat for Humanity. That donation, made in partnership with Jon Bon Jovi and the Philadelphia Soul will fund the construction of House 3, another two-family townhome, the construction of which will begin in September '06. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
