Champaign hotels involved in ABC’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
Tharaldson Hospitality is extremely proud to lend a hand to Brady Homes and Extreme Makeover Home Edition while they are building a new home for the Montgomery Family in Champaign, IL. As employee owners we take great pride in our hotels and this opportunity to help others and in our community!
On August 18, “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” traveled to Champaign County, IL to meet Nathan Montgomery who gave up a lucrative engineering career to start a charity that feeds hundreds of hungry families in his community. On Tuesday, August 25th, team leader Ty Pennington, his designers and hundreds of volunteers will rebuild the crumbling home of Nathan, his wife Jenny and their four children – providing them with comfort and security they now cannot afford for themselves.
Nathan was a promising young engineer on his way to a six-figure management position when he first began volunteering to help the needy. Realizing he wanted to pursue charity work full time, Nathan stepped off the fast track to launch Salt and Light, the philanthropic
organization he leads as executive director. Nathan has seen the number of local families in need rise dramatically during the current economic crisis, and Salt and Light now feeds an average of 250 families each week.
Tharaldson Hospitality is glad to be a part of this great cause. Our Champaign, IL hotels; Courtyard by Marriott, Fairfield Inn by Marriott and Comfort Inn by Choice Hotels, will work together to donate rooms for the Brady Homes builders who have come together to aid in the amazing task of building a home in just seven days.
