AIS is pleased to announce its second partnership with ABC's Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. In the 7th season premiere, AIS has donated office furniture for three floors to aid in furnishing the newly rebuilt The Fishing School in Washington, D.C. This assignment represents the largest build to date for Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.

“This is the second time AIS has contributed to Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. AIS is passionate about supporting its community. The Extreme build in Hawaii was such a success and inspiration for both the Keiki O Ka Aina Family and AIS, it was a simple decision to supply the requested donation of product and effort again to another encouraging project,” said Rob Lazarus,
Executive Vice President of Sales & Marketing, AIS. “We also could not have
done this without the teams at Interior Architects and Maryland Office Interiors
who provided ground level support to ensure this is a perfect build from start
to finish,” continues Lazarus.

The Fishing School is a nationally-recognized youth development organization that provides children and families with academic and parental support through its community-based centers located in Washington, DC. The philosophy of TFS is inspired by the adage, “If you give a man a fish, you will feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish, and he will feed himself for a lifetime.” The Fishing School offers after school programs to children ages 6-13, empowering the youth to dream big and provides the tools to make those dreams a reality.

  to Rebuild Washington, DC's The Fishing School

In 2007, AIS was a proud, first-time participant of ABC's "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition". In the 5th season premiere, AIS furnished over 20 office spaces in the rebuild of the Keiki O Ka Aina Family Learning Center located in Honolulu, Hawaii.

Eleven years ago, Momi Akana was a single mother on welfare with a mission to make her community a better place. She started a non-profit organization that supports the native Hawaiian community by offering culturally educational programs for free to those who would not normally be able to afford them elsewhere.

For the past 11 years, Momi was sharing her home with the program. In 2004, a major flood washed away half the foundation leaving only a couple pillars to support her home. The home not only became unfit for the community center, but also the family. Today, the well deserving Akana family has a brand new home and state-of-the-art community center all in the same location!
