CSP™ Build April 22nd, 2009
Press Release
This Weeks Toronto Women's Build began with the Help of Local Home Staging Professionals during a "Pay it Forward" Campaign for Habitat for Humanity.
(May 5th, 2009 – Toronto, ON) Fourteen Certified Staging Professionals from across North America, brought a year–long campaign to an end by donating more time, energy and financial resources when they participated in a CSP™ adopt–a–day Habitat for Humanity build at the end of April.
The individual certified staging professionals embraced the opportunity to give back to the community, and were thrilled to be part of a project with the green initiatives this particular build put forth. The CSP™ builders assisted in preparing the site comprised of 16 Energy Star® homes, for this week's Women Build Blitz where thousands of Toronto women and girls will unite to build homes and hope in their community.
"I am proud of each individual CSP™ member who has participated in the CSP Charity of Choice since it was established in Sept 2006" said Christine Rae, CSP™ President and author of Home Staging for Dummies. "Many stagers pledged a consistent dollar amount throughout the whole year for each of their staging projects, held special local events, and participated in various drives for the cause. Home staging is a real estate related industry and it makes perfect sense to give back within the industry to those who need affordable housing. CSP™ will continue to provide opportunities and encourage CSP™ members to pledge, build, and give generously throughout 2009 and into 2010."
