BuildASign.com™ Donates $1,000,000 in Free Signage to Boost Hurricane Affected Economies
Austin, TX- September 15, 2008 -
BuildASign.com™ will donate one million dollars in signage to help counties and
parishes affected by hurricanes this season prepare for or rebuild from these
storms. Anyone on the Gulf or Atlantic coasts who has been or may be impacted by
hurricanes can visit
www.BuildASign.com/Hurricane to get one
free sign as well as additional signs at heavily discounted prices. The online
sign retailer hopes that this signage donation will help residents show
solidarity and help economies in affected areas get back on their feet quickly.
“My family lost our Lafayette, LA home in Hurricane Lili in 2002
and it’s great to be part of a company now that can give back to people and
businesses impacted by hurricanes. We’re hoping that with the help of
BuildASign.com’s donated signage, people can show that they are back in
business, or will be soon, and towns across the Gulf and Atlantic coasts can
return to commerce as usual. We hope the sight of “Open for Business” or “Back
in School” banners or a “We survived Gustav” license plate will really lift
spirits in hard hit areas.“
-Chelsea Staires, Senior Communications Manager, BuildASign.com
