TRENDMAKER JOINS HOMEAID AND ASTROS ON PROJECT PLAYHOUSE
HomeAid Houston and the Houston Astros are partnering with award-winning builder Trendmaker Homes on the 2011 Project Playhouse. Trendmaker Homes has designed this year’s playhouse that will raise funds for Houston’s homeless. This year’s playhouse is named Astros Express; its design reflects a train theme that incorporates Minute Maid Park’s own signature train. Trendmaker’s playhouse will also include an electronics package, A/C and many other amenities to be announced soon.
This is the fifth year that HomeAid and the Houston Astros will be launching Project Playhouse. The fundraiser is centered on a baseball theme and raises funds to help build transitional housing for the area’s homeless. The playhouse is typically displayed at Minute Maid Park during Astros home stands in July and August and other events during May and June. Trendmaker, led by Eva Brunell, will construct the home with donated materials and services from GHBA members.
A second playhouse, similar to the first, will also be constructed by Trendmaker for the annual Astros Wives Gala, “Black Ties and Baseball Caps.” It will be auctioned off to raise money for a HomeAid Care project for the Houston Area Women’s Center.
“The HomeAid /Astros partnership has been hugely successful in raising awareness and much needed funds for transitional housing for Houston’s homeless men, women and children,” said Parke Patterson, president of HomeAid Houston’s board of directors. “Last year Project Playhouse raised $57,000. This solid partnership is further enhanced as Trendmaker Homes comes onboard this year to design and build our fifth playhouse. The commitment by both the Astros and Trendmaker to help Houston’s homeless, and their vision for the future, inspires everyone who

is fortunate to be affiliated with such a network of professionals.”
