Carrier Corp.’s “cool”
playhouse will be shown Aug. 3-19 as part of an Indiana State Fair display
sponsored by Habitat for
Humanity of Greater Indianapolis.
The local Habitat’s campaign
is called “Play it forward,” and it encourages businesses and individuals to
create unique places for children to play. HVAC equipment maker Carrier is one
of 20 companies taking part this year. The playhouses will tour the Indianapolis
area until the end of the month, when they are scheduled to be auctioned off as
part of a Habitat 25th anniversary fundraiser.
“Carrier
employees and volunteers have built 20 Habitat for Humanity homes in
Indianapolis since 1991,” said Michelle Caldwell, Carrier brand manager. “We
are excited to continue this legacy of community involvement by building a Carrier
playhouse for Habitat’s Play It Forward playhouse program.”
Carrier
used clouds and green in its 6-by-6-foot design, which includes Carrier toy vans and a highway play scape mat.
