Last March, Simmons Homes and a small combination of national home builders help the New Orleans residents rebuild their homes after Hurricane Katrina. Two years before that, Simmons Homes participated with ABC’s "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" show to build a new home for a Dewey, Oklahoma family.

Now the leading Tulsa area home builder, Simmons Homes, is teaming up with ABC’s "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" once more for a third project, but this time, it’s to help a family in their own backyard. You can learn more and get involved at www.extremesimmons.com

"Our employees’ hearts and lives have been touched through our participation with Extreme Makeover and the families we’ve been fortunate enough to help," said Greg Simmons, founder of Owasso-based Simmons Homes. "To be a part of the same spirit of generosity in our own community brings our amazing Extreme Team experience full circle."

The Tulsa "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" family’s name has not yet been released, to insure the family will enjoy the surprise, and the final project details will be announced the week of Jan. 15. The Simmons Homes team will work on the Extreme Makeover home for nearly one week.

"You can be confident that the Tulsans receiving this home are truly deserving of our help," said Simmons. "We’re looking forward to building a team of local volunteers to really make a difference in this family’s lives."

Simmons Homes needs skilled/licensed craftsmen to volunteer for onsite shifts; to make a well deserved family’ dreams come true. Volunteers from the home building industry are needed with skills including electricians, painters, framers, plumbers and drywallers. "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" volunteers will be responsible for all transportation, lodging and food. In addition, Simmons Homes encourages other Tulsa community organizations to get involved by allowing employees to participate and/or donate tools and supplies.
