Holiday Home Frame Build on Saturday, December 3 at The Palace of
Auburn Hills, Mich. West Main Entrance (5A) at 11 a.m. FARMINGTON
HILLS, Mich., Nov. 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Hammers will once
again be the music that drives the hearts of Southeast Michigan. A
Habitat home, for a family in Jackson, Miss. will be framed in the
Palace of Auburn Hills parking lot on December 3, as a precursor to
a major holiday concert event on December 8 featuring Martina
McBride, LeAnn Rimes and Carrie Underwood. The framing of the home,
or lumber pack, is just the beginnings of a new holiday gift for
one lucky family displaced by damaging hurricanes that swept the
gulf coast this year. Members from a partner family are scheduled
to come on stage during the concert for a special presentation. A
partner family is Habitat's term for the family that will help
build their own home, and then purchase it at cost, with a zero
percent interest rate, to make it affordable. "It has been a trying
year for many Americans on so many levels, that we at Chrysler
Financial wanted to host an evening of giving back," said William
F. Jones Jr., Vice President - Chrysler Financial. "We believe
strongly in our core value of social responsibility and look
forward to raising additional funds to help those who have
experienced loss and tragedy as they begin to rebuild their lives."
Chrysler Financial presents a holiday event guaranteed to satisfy
country music lovers everywhere. Martina McBride, LeAnn Rimes and
Carrie Underwood will light up the stage with their undeniably raw
talent and All-American beauty. Country Cares is scheduled for
December 8 at The Palace Sports and Entertainment complex in Auburn
Hills, Mich. Tickets for the concert are on sale to the general
public and are available through all TicketMaster outlets and the
event Web site, http://www.countrycaresconcert.com/ . All net
proceeds from Country Cares will go to benefit Habitat for Humanity
as they help those specifically affected in the Gulf Coast
communities damaged by recent hurricanes. About Chrysler Financial
