Richard Freeman might win $30,000 for being a good guy. The Beavercreek resident is one of 10 finalist in Sears Blue Tool Crew’s second annual “Unsung Heroes: Dads Making a Difference” contest.
Online voting through July 3 at www.facebook.com/SearsBlueToolCrew will determine the winner.
The contest aims to honor dads who use their “tools and talents for the greater good of the communities in which they live.”
Inspired by “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition,” Freeman led volunteers in gutting and rehabbing a house for Kathy Atkins of Kettering, a single mom of three autistic teens.
Forty businesses, seven churches and seven nonprofits collaborated to fix the Saranac Circle home that had mold, water damage, and electrical and insulation issues.
The Sears Blue Tool Crew and television personality Ty Pennington selected the finalists. The winner will receive $30,000 in services and assistance from Sears to advance his community work.
Each finalist will receive $3,000 worth of tools from the Sears Blue Tool Crew.
