Habitat for Humanity and Chrysler Financial Partner to Build

Holiday Home Frame Build on Saturday, December 3 at The Palace of Auburn Hills, Mich. West Main Entrance (5A) at 11 a.m.

FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich., Nov. 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Hammers will once again be the music that drives the hearts of Southeast Michigan. A Habitat home, for a family in Jackson, Miss. will be framed in the Palace of Auburn Hills parking lot on December 3, as a precursor to a major holiday concert event on December 8 featuring Martina McBride, LeAnn Rimes and Carrie Underwood.

The framing of the home, or lumber pack, is just the beginnings of a new holiday gift for one lucky family displaced by damaging hurricanes that swept the gulf coast this year. Members from a partner family are scheduled to come on stage during the concert for a special presentation. A partner family is Habitat's term for the family that will help build their own home, and then purchase it at cost, with a zero percent interest rate, to make it affordable.

"It has been a trying year for many Americans on so many levels, that we at Chrysler Financial wanted to host an evening of giving back," said William F. Jones Jr., Vice President - Chrysler Financial. "We believe strongly in our core value of social responsibility and look forward to raising additional funds to help those who have experienced loss and tragedy as they begin to rebuild their lives."

Chrysler Financial presents a holiday event guaranteed to satisfy country music lovers everywhere. Martina McBride, LeAnn Rimes and Carrie Underwood will light up the stage with their undeniably raw talent and All-American beauty. Country Cares is scheduled for December 8 at The Palace Sports and Entertainment complex in Auburn Hills, Mich.

Tickets for the concert are on sale to the general public and are available through all TicketMaster outlets and the event Web site, http://www.countrycaresconcert.com/ . All net proceeds from Country Cares will go to benefit Habitat for Humanity as they help those specifically affected in the Gulf Coast communities damaged by recent hurricanes.
