August 28th, 2005 was quite a while ago. I had just turned 25 (now I’m rounding the corner to 32!). This was the day that Hurricane Katrina hit and forever changed hundreds of thousands of lives. I took a group of college students down the following May to do some rebuilding, and I remember being completely awestruck by just how awful things still looked down there after 9 months of constant work by volunteers and the people who lived there.

And guess what? There’s STILL a lot of rebuilding work that needs to be done, even 6 1/2 years later. The devastation was just that massive.

Pfister, a leading maker of beautiful kitchen and bath faucets, has teamed up with an organization that is helping to rebuild homes, not just in New Orleans, but all over the country where the need is present. For every Facebook “like” that Pfister receives, $1 of Pfister products will be donated to the organization Rebuilding Together (up to $20,000!). That can buy a lot of beautiful faucets!

So, please take a second to visit and “like” the Pfister Facebook page. If you are already a fan, you can also make a donation to Rebuilding Together through the Friends of Pfister campaign on Causes.com!  Pfister will even match your donation up to a total of $5,000.
