Huntersville, NC. (October 6, 2014) – The Joey Logano Foundation will be partnering with The Habitat for Humanity of Cabarrus County to work on a house in the Logan community, located in Concord, NC. Following the Bank of America 500 night-race on October, 11th, 2014, Joey Logano and fifteen volunteers through Team Logano and Penske Racing will spend the morning working on the home.
This year, Habitat for Humanity Cabarrus County will be celebrating its 25th year of service by committing to build at least six houses within the area over the course of the year. Habitat’s “HandUp Program” requires future Habitat homeowners to invest at least 250 volunteer hours of work on the house, but in return, the program finances the house at a rate of 0% interest. A single mother of four children, Jazman Crisco will be moving into the home after its expected completion in November. Jazman has conducted over 300 volunteer “Sweat Equity” hours and has also completed the Habitat’s “HandUp Program”, allowing her to be eligible for a home. “I could probably build a couple of houses from all I’ve learned. I know for sure that if anything breaks I am able to become ‘Mrs. Fix –It!” Jazman said.
Habitat for Humanity is centered in Atlanta, GA, and has provided immeasurable relief to communities around the world. The Joey Logano Foundation seeks to provide not only hands-on aid to those who’ve been through hardship, but will also be making a $5,000 donation to the Habitat for Humanity of Cabarrus County to help give other families in the local community a second chance as well.
“After hearing Jazman’s story and knowing all that the Habitat for Humanity of Cabarrus County has done, I couldn’t help but get involved”, says Joey Logano. “The Joey Logano Foundation and our Team Logano Reserves who will be on-site for this volunteer project are really looking forward to working with our local Habitat group and giving back to the community to wrap up the Charlotte race weekend.”
