Animal shelter garners most votes in Spectrum Stone Designs’ Natural Stone Charity Makeover Contest
Spectrum Stone Designs, Lynchburg’s only fabricator of natural stone countertops, fireplace surrounds and tiles, is excited to announce that the Lynchburg Humane Society has won up to $4,500 in natural stone in the company’s Natural Stone Charity Makeover Contest.
“We are in the process of a capital campaign to build a new animal welfare and adoption center, and natural stone is incorporated into the plans for our new facility,” said Makena Yarbrough, executive director of the Lynchburg Humane Society. “Spectrum Stone Designs does beautiful work, and we are excited to have the opportunity to utilize their natural stone in our new building.”
From Dec. 15 through Dec. 31, 2013, people voted on Facebook for the charity they would like to see win up to $4,500 worth of natural stone from Spectrum Stone Designs. Other charities participating in the contest included:
- Altavista Area / Campbell County Habitat for Humanity – www.altavistacampbellcountyhabitat.org
- The Arc of Central Virginia – www.arcofcva.org
- Miller Home of Lynchburg – www.millerhomeoflynchburg.org
- Patrick Henry Family Services – www.patrickhenry.org
- YMCA of Central Virginia – www.ymcacva.org
The Lynchburg Humane Society was the charity with the most votes as of noon on Dec. 31, 2013, so the animal shelter won the natural stone makeover from Spectrum Stone Designs. Natural stone can be used in the nonprofit organization’s facility for new kitchen countertops, bathroom vanities, desks or outdoor seating. Other uses include fireplace surrounds, staircases and outdoor kitchens.
“We are so grateful for all of the wonderful work nonprofit organizations do to make our community a better place,” said Page Eggleston, president of Spectrum Stone Designs. “Spectrum Stone Designs is honored to have the opportunity to give something back to these amazing charities that give so much to Lynchburg every day.”
Spectrum Stone Designs will install the new natural stone for the winning charity after Jan. 15, 2014.
