We have some late breaking and exciting news to share. This coming weekend marks the culmination of an entirely volunteer and donation driven family home being built in one week here in our hometown of Indianapolis.

ABC’s Extreme Home Makeover will be unveiling its Indianapolis home make over to a deserving family this Sunday. While Estridge is the lead build team to create a new home built in rapid fire time, eTapestry helped build a donation page and payment processing engine in one day that would accept online donations to fund the project. You can see what came to life in very short order at this link (Feel free to help out too...)

Yes, several of the superb team members at eTapestry stepped up in their own shortened "construction" time line to make this happen. My hat is off to Mike Garrigus (who built the page) and Kimberly Hammer (for back-end database help), along with Steve Payne, Josh Esslinger and Aaron Bacon for making this happen. Way to go, guys!

There were many local organizations involved in helping this Extreme Home Makeover happen quickly in our city. We were delighted to be asked to help and to be part of such a worthwhile charitable project. It is so neat to see such a large group of people and support come together so quickly. Because of those actions, much of America will see philanthropy in action and why so many of us think it is so magical.
