Paso Robles, CA (PRWEB) September 17, 2004 -- Daniels Wood Land, Inc
announces its “Tree House Tour 2004”. The company will tour across the county to
raise funds for the American Red Cross disaster relief fund. The tour will
culminate with the delivery of a tree house to children who lost their tree
house to Hurricane Frances in Jacksonville, Florida. The public is invited to
help launch the tour on Monday, September 20, 2004 at 6:00 AM-Noon, in the
parking lot at the Atascadero, CA Home Depot. The tour will continue on Tuesday,
September 21 at the San Luis Obispo, CA Home Depot at 6:00 AM-Noon and will then

At each stop, the company will be assembling and displaying the tree
house that is being donated to the family in Jacksonville, FL. Also along for
the tour will be landscape designer Dawson Connor of ABC’s hit series Extreme
Makeover: Home Edition. Dawson appeared in numerous episodes of Extreme
Makeover: Home Edition as the design team’s landscape expert.
The recent
series of hurricanes that pounded the Southeast left a trail of destruction.
Entire towns have been destroyed and even in towns that survived destruction,
individual losses reveal the poignant devastation. While images of the massive
destruction begin to blur together, a specific loss and the heartache of an
individual family brings home the tragedy of these devastating
Hurricanes.
Howard Wood, Co-Owner, Daniel’s Wood Land,
Inc, was touched by the story of a Jacksonville, Florida family who survived the
Hurricane, but lost their children’s brand new play set. Wood had been thinking
about a way to help victims of the Hurricanes and the plight of this family
presented an opportunity for him to help. Wood manufactures tree houses in Paso
Robles, California. He decided to personally accompany a new tree house to the
family that lost theirs. “As I considered the trip back to Florida to deliver
the tree house, I realized we could make an even bigger contribution to the
hurricane victims by collecting funds along the way for the Red Cross disaster
relief fund,” said Wood. Wood continued, “On December 23, 2003, our town of Paso
Robles and surrounding San Luis Obispo County was hit with a magnitude 6.5
earthquake. Many organizations from across the country as well as the American
Red Cross came to our aid. Now another part of our country is in need, and we
want to give back.”
Partner John Daniels said, “On the east coast
there’re hurricanes, on the west there’re earthquakes, and in the middle
there’re tornadoes, but through it all, we’re Americans. We have a tradition of
answering when tough times call.”
DWL mapped a route and partnered with
the local San Luis Obispo County Chapter American Red Cross to launch the
Countywide tour. The “Tree House Tour 2004” gained momentum when the Atascadero
Home Depot offered their parking lot as the venue to launch the “Tour”.
Successful contacts with Red Cross and hardware stores in the cities slated as
stops on the tour have solidified DWL’s commitment to help one family in
particular and also help many families through the Red Cross disaster relief
fund. Daniels Wood Land, Inc. has currently devoted over $20,000 worth of
product, services and hard costs to make the “Tree House Tour 2004” happen. In
addition, to kick off the donations, Daniels Wood Land is donating $1000
directly to the San Luis Obispo American Red Cross chapter.
