Latest HomeAid playhouse rolls into Minute Maid Park

-

It’s a “star spangled” event when it comes to HomeAid Houston’s annual fundraiser, Project Playhouse. Taylor Morrison/Darling Homes partnered with BMC to deliver the 2017 playhouse to Minute Maid Park, where it’s on display through July 19 on the concourse level behind section 150 during Astros games.

The “All American Playhouse” was built by Taylor Morrison/Darling Homes in collaborat­ion with industry supporters. HomeAid Houston is a 501 (c)(3) charity supported by the Greater Houston Builders Associatio­n.

“The All American Playhouse design is a tribute to America as it showcases the American flag and evokes a sense of Americana at its finest,” said Salty Thomason, president of HomeAid Houston.

HomeAid Houston is partnering with Taylor Morrison/Darling Homes, the Houston Astros and the Astros Foundation on this 11th annual fundraiser that raises funds to build transforma­tional housing for Houston’s homeless men, women and children.

Transporta­tion of the All American Playhouse was donated for the eighth year by BMC and led by Bryan Baker with team members Randy Salinas, Juan Lopez and Jackson Tollenson.

On hand for the delivery and installati­on from Taylor Morrison/Darling Homes were Michael Pomerleau, Franklin Gonzalez, Sarah Starr, Daniel Cogan and Caroline Noel. From Hollywood Hills Outdoor Solutions was Tim Kimberling.

The playhouse includes a variety of amenities such as an LED TV, an electronic game console, air conditioni­ng, and whimsical furnishing­s provided by profession­al interior designers that are perfect for both girls and boys.

Over the past 11 years, HomeAid’s Project Playhouse has had a variety of theme designs that include a country cottage, a castle, a spaceship, a train, a popular video game, a baseball dugout and a replica of Minute Maid Park.
