Extreme Makeover To Baltimore Board Of Child Care To Be Unveiled

BALTIMORE, MD — A home for Baltimore children has undergone renovations to its residential facilities plus amenities. The Board of Child Care home at 3300 Gaither Road in Baltimore was the focus of work by a group of businesses and contractors through the “Built Upon a Dream” program.

On Tuesday, Aug. 27, WMAR and participating businesses will unveil the renovations to the Board of Child Care’s gymnasium, weight room, recording studio and a multi-purpose room. Fencing also was around the perimeter of the BCC for safety and security, and six bathrooms were renovated in the resident cottages, according to a news release.

All team member companies donated time, labor, materials and supplies to get the job done. The “Built Upon a Dream” team includes sponsors: Manekin Construction, Whiting-Turner, Hord Coplan Macht, T. Rowe Price, Bath Fitter, Fence & Deck Connection as well as a number of sub-contractors, suppliers and volunteers.

“Built Upon A Dream,” which airs on WMAR, is based on the ABC network show “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.” It offers local non-profit organizations a chance to greatly improve their facilities.

Board of Child Care serves a variety of youth in both its residential and educational program. The domestic residential program serves children referred to BCC by the Department of Social Service, Department of Human Services, or the Department of Juvenile Services.
