Materials Matter Celebrates 2nd Anniversary With Home Improvement Outlet Half-Off Blowout Sale
CORONA, CA–(Marketwire - June 19, 2007) - Materials Matter (www.materialsmatter.org), a multi-faceted nonprofit organization dedicated to helping other nonprofits gain access to low and no-cost building materials, invites the community to explore its home improvement treasure trove by celebrating another successful year at the “2nd Anniversary 50% Off Blowout Sale” on Saturday, July 14.
This annual fundraiser event will be held at the organization’s Home Improvement Outlet in Corona at 1655 W. 6th Street #109, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
In this “Ultimate Treasure Hunt for Do-It-Yourselfers,” Southland residents can look forward to an additional 50 percent off the entire stock of building materials and home improvement items, which everyday are already at 50 to 80 percent below retail prices. One hundred percent of the proceeds earned from the sale will fuel Materials Matter’s comprehensive programs, including the Community Chest program, which grants nonprofit organizations access to free or heavily discounted building materials for builds and other projects.
“Consumers can enjoy great savings during our sale for their own projects, and their purchases will ultimately contribute to many worthy causes across Southern California,” said Jason McKinstry, president of Materials Matter. “This is an event that the whole community can enjoy and be proud to participate in.”
Last year’s sale brought shoppers from as far north as Ventura and down to San Diego County. These customers know to expect great deals on a wide variety of home improvement items, most of them brand new and all of them in excellent condition. Much of the Home Improvement Outlet’s stock is donated from builders and home improvement retail stores looking to reduce surplus inventory.
To spark interest in the sale and encourage shoppers to take a “sneak peek” to check out the amazing deals offered, prize giveaway opportunities will be available the previous Monday through Friday, July 9-13. Shoppers can enter a daily drawing to win tool kits and vie for “golden tickets” for an extra 10 percent off on the day of the sale, among other prizes.
Additionally, for the week preceding the sale and during the event on July 14, kids who accompany their parents can participate in their own treasure hunt through the store, claim their own pirate’s treasure from a chest of toys, and participate in other pirate-inspired crafts and activities.
“We want this to be an enjoyable experience for the whole family,” said Alison Riback, vice president of Materials Matter. “Adults can take advantage of our great deals and on their own home improvement treasures, while their kids can have fun at the same time.”
Materials Matter, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, also runs In Kind Donation Management services and a Deconstruction and Recycling program, which benefit both the nonprofit and business communities. As tons of building materials are saved from landfills each year through the operation of these programs, even the environment benefits from Materials Matter’s programs.
