Your Vote Could Win Enchanted Makeovers $2,500 Toward Shelter Transformations!
TAYLOR, MI — Beginning September 15 at 9 am EST, visitors to the Martha Stewart Doer of the Week website at http://dreamers.marthastewart.com/profiles/blogs/vote-for-your-favorite-doer-of can play a major role in helping Enchanted Makeovers win $2,500 toward its shelter transformation projects simply by casting a vote.
Terry Grahl, an award-winning interior decorator and founder and president of the Michigan-based non-profit Enchanted Makeovers, was selected by Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia (MSLO) as a “Doer of the Week” in August and is one of the 10 finalists in the People’s Choice contest. The winner of the contest will be selected through an online poll vote and will be awarded $2,500 for her organization.
Through Enchanted Makeovers, Grahl has organized stunning transformations at women’s and children’s shelters such as Grace Centers of Hope in Pontiac, Mich. (www.gracecentersofhope.org). She is currently working on Enchanted Makeovers’ 2009 Vision Project at Vista Maria (www.vistamaria.org), Michigan's largest private non-profit child welfare agency for girls and their families. Grahl has also begun work on Enchanted Makeovers’ next transformation project at Newhouse in Kansas City, Mo. (www.newhouseshelter.org), a shelter dedicated to providing new beginnings to abused women and their children. Her vision is to expand Enchanted Makeovers’ outreach throughout the nation and eventually around the world as she inspires others to get involved and follow their creative passions.
“Our 2009 Vision Project could really use this funding to purchase paint and other basic supplies,” Grahl said. “It would be wonderful if we could receive enough votes to win this contest!”
The poll voting will end on Friday, 10/2 at 5 pm EST. Vote today at http://dreamers.marthastewart.com/profiles/blogs/vote-for-your-favorite-doer-of!
