FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
LARIMER COUNTY AND GLOBAL SPECTRUM EMPLOYEES
GIVE BACK, AT HABITAT FOR HUMANITY
EMPLOYEES VOLUNTEER THEIR TIME, TO RESTOCK THE RESTORE
Loveland, CO – Habitat for Humanity is an International nonprofit that survives solely on volunteer labor and donations. The employees of Larimer County, Global Spectrum, and Ovations teamed up Tuesday morning to re-stock, clean, and price items at the ReStore in Loveland.
“It’s important for us to give back to the communities we serve all year long,” said Global Spectrum’s Rick Hontz, General Manager of Budweiser Events Center. “We enjoy helping Habitat for Humanity because they really need our help and the strength of volunteers to continue their amazing public service.”
Habitat for Humanity is not a give away program. In addition to the ReStore, where items are reasonably priced and affordable, houses are built upon a monthly mortgage and ‘sweaty equity’ program. Every adult resident is required to invest hundreds of hours into their own home, the ReStore, or in the houses of others. Habitat houses are sold to partner families at zero profit and financed with affordable loans.
Larimer County’s Bob Herrfeldt, Director of The Ranch said, “There are so many families in need right here in our own backyard and it’s wonderful partnering with an organization like Habitat, who takes every donation and puts it to use. Everything donated is used either by someone locally, or in third world countries.”
The Ranch, Larimer County Fairgrounds and Events Complex, located in Loveland, CO, opened in 2003 and is owned and operated by Larimer County. The Ranch consists of the Budweiser Events Center, a 7,200 seat multi-purpose arena managed by Global Spectrum, the Ranch-Way Feeds Indoor Arena and Livestock Pavilions, the First National Bank Exhibition Halls, and the Thomas M. McKee 4-H, Youth & Community Building. The Ranch hosts more than 2,000 events annually and is home to the Larimer County Fair and Rodeo. For more information, visit www.TREventComplex.com.
Global Spectrum (global-spectrum.com), the fastest growing firm in the public assembly facility management field with more than 85 facilities throughout the United States and Canada, manages Budweiser Events Center at The Ranch. The 7,200 seat multi-purpose venue, which opened in September 2003, is owned by Larimer County and home to the Colorado Eagles of the Central Hockey League and the Colorado ICE of the United Indoor Football League.
