Hiller Systems & Extreme Makeover: Home Addition

Businesses all over Hampton Roads pitched in and donated time, food and resources to the Extreme Makeover: Home Edition that was filmed recently in Virginia Beach, Virginia.  Hiller Systems was no different.  Our employee's donated a total of 108 lbs. of food and one of our employee's even participated in the week long build of the new house for Beverly Hill, Fred Burdette and their six adopted daughters.

Trademark Construction of Chesapeake Virginia took the lead on the build and took the family's modest home, pictured here:




and turned it into this spacious and comfortable home for the family:




Beverly Hill is known in Hampton Roads to have a heart of gold. She has been sharing her love for over 15 years and has helped raise 35 foster children, according to a press release from Extreme Makeover. A friend of the family nominated the family last year after the TV show announced it was looking for a deserving family in southeastern Virginia.


"Giving back to the community that helped build our business is only right.  I am very proud of the Hiller Systems employee's who donated their time, food and energy to this project.  It truly exemplifies what Hiller Systems stands for", said Mark Herzog, Vice President and General Manager of the Hiller Systems Inc. Chesapeake, VA branch.
Hiller Systems was very proud to participate in this event.  The episode will air in a few weeks and we look forward to watching the week come together and see how we helped a most deserving family benefit from the kindness of strangers the way others have benefited from their kindness and goodwill.
