HGTV Host Jeff Wilson - Live from Grand Canyon
America’s national parks protect and preserve the country’s most treasured spaces and historical sites. In addition to their natural beauty, our Parks contain a variety of structures that serve staff and visitors, like decks, boardwalks, visitor centers, tourist cabins, hotels, campgrounds, Park Ranger housing and more. However, extreme climates, floods, fires and the increasing number of visitors all cause wear and tear on these structures, and there is a severe backlog of maintenance and repair projects needed to keep the Parks safe and enjoyable for everyone. Now there are two new ways homeowners can help protect and preserve our Parks while at the same time protecting and preserving their own back yard. From now through October 4, The Thompson’s Company will donate one dollar for each eligible product sold – up to $50,000 – to be distributed to the National Park Foundation on behalf of America’s National Parks. In addition, you can visit thompsonswaterseal.com and click on the “Donate Now” icon. Simply click and the brand will donate $1 to the National Park Foundation (up to $25,000.) Thompson’s Water Seal will also donate $25,000 worth of products for use in the Parks, for a total donation value of $100,000 for 2010. On Wednesday, June 16, HGTV’s Jeff Wilson will be available for interview LIVE from one of the country’s most amazing national parks – the Grand Canyon. Jeff will tell your viewers how they can help preserve America’s parks, offer tips for creating a home oasis in your own backyard (without breaking the bank!) and how you can qualify for the chance to win a vacation to the Park vacation destination of your choice!
