The Certified Restoration Drycleaning Network (CRDN), accustomed to helping those in need following a fire or flood in their home, has expanded its service to local communities through the involvement of two noteworthy projects throughout the year.

First, CRDN has been named a season-long preferred vendor for the award-winning ABC-TV show “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition,” for the sixth straight year. The vast geographic coverage and extensive experience helping tens of thousands of homeowners each year has made CRDN a great fit for the show, now in its ninth season.

“We are extremely proud of the commitment of CRDN members across the United States to continue to contribute in many ways to each local community where we live and work,” said Wayne Wudyka, CRDN's CEO. “Our members are very charitable year after year, through coat drives, service projects, and financial support of meaningful activities. The opportunity to help 'Extreme Makeover: Home Edition' provide a fresh start for so many deserving families—now more than 105 over the past 6 years—has been a natural fit for us. Our organization is adept at assisting those who have experienced an accident or disaster by restoring garments and other fabric items—those items that are very personal—and each of the show's projects enables us to play an important role.”

In another show of community support, CRDN also has begun its second year as a major sponsor of the Collegiate Players Tour (CPT), a summer-long golf competition for college-age men and women across the United States.

“Just as Extreme Makeover is committed to making a dramatic difference in the lives of well-deserving families, CRDN is dedicated to playing a valuable role when called upon to serve those in need,” Wudyka added.
