Winston-Salem Dash News Release

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (MAY 7, 2013) - The Winston-Salem Dash will partner with Lowe's Home Improvement and Habitat for Humanity of Forsyth County to assist in the annual Community Build on Saturday, May 18, from 7:45 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Dash players, staff members and front office team members will join volunteers from both Lowe's and Habitat for Humanity in the construction of five houses at two separate locations in the Winston-Salem area.

The build project is truly a community effort, so Dash fans are encouraged to help, too. To register as a volunteer, call Habitat for Humanity of Forsyth County at (336) 765-8854. Everyone's efforts will be honored during the Dash's game on Saturday, July 27, at 7 p.m. A special video will be shown at BB&T Ballpark in dedication to this year's Community Build.

The first location at 1825 Willow Oak Way features three houses, one of which is very near completion. The other two homes are at 922 and 924 Roosevelt Street. One of these houses, donated to Habitat for Humanity of Forsyth County, is undergoing a complete reconstruction, while another home will be built on the property. This donated lot was big enough to divide in half to accommodate a second house.

All five houses are at various stages of their construction, so volunteers will be assigned to a number of different tasks. Volunteers will assist with flooring, installing trusses, installing shingles into the roof and landscaping, among other things.

The Dash are continuing their drive toward one million fans at BB&T Ballpark, wrapping up a six-game homestand with games Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. First pitch tonight is 7 p.m., while Wednesday morning's game is set for 11 a.m. For tickets, call the Dash at (336) 714-2287 or visit wsdash.com.

The Winston-Salem Dash are the Class-A Advanced minor league affiliate of the Chicago White Sox. To purchase tickets and for more information, please call (336) 714-2287 or visit www.wsdash.com .
