Canisius College was invited to participate in this unique project by David M. Stapleton. Stapleton is the president of David Homes, which is the lead builder for the Buffalo “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.” He is also a 1987 alumnus of Canisius College.
“Canisius students coming together to serve on a local project with a national audience was a truly unique experience, especially with a Canisius alumnus in charge of the project,” says Mark Tortelli ’10, president of the Undergraduate Student Association. “We emptied every room of the house and cleared out the garage so that the demolition and disassembling teams could go to work right away. It’s one of those things that we will be able to look back upon and know that we played a part in giving an extremely deserving family a new start.”
