BCT Consulting Helps ABC’s “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” Get Fresno Family Wired
BCT Consulting, Inc., a Fresno-based computer and network consulting firm, didn’t miss a beat when a call came from the producers of ABC’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition asking for help that would change the lives of a local Fresno family.
BCT responded to the request by donating and installing a full range of computer equipment, including laptops, desktops, PCs, iMacs and printers for all family members in the Fresno home currently under construction for the show this week.
“As one of the largest technology consulting firms in the Central Valley, BCT believes in being an active part of our community,” said Eric Rawn, BCT’s President and CEO. “Being able to be a good neighbor by donating resources to assist Ty Pennington and the Extreme Makeover: Home Edition team with their Fresno projects is very special to us.”
The miracles that Extreme Makeover: Home Edition makes possible across the country are races against the clock, and the Fresno project is no exception. More than 300 workers are shuttled to the construction site in ’24/7′ mode, in an effort to complete the extreme makeover within five days and nine hours – all while the family who live in the home are away.
To maximize efficiency, the ABC Extreme Makeover: Home Edition production team, along with BCT, is working at peak capacity to make sure everything is on time, perfectly in place and in working order. The Fresno featured episode of the program is currently slated to run on March 8, 2009 on ABC-TV.
In addition to the donated computer equipment, BCT is also providing a full year of computer support, including training and repairs, to ensure the family can utilize everything they have received. The computer equipment BCT installs will not only help the family step into the 21st century, but will allow the children to have the same opportunities as others with state-of-the-art computers at home and at school.
“We’re excited to provide a gift that will continue giving, year after year,” added Rawn.
