Clinkerdagger Employees Give a Home Makeover to Spokane Shriners Family

October 2, 2008

This year, the managers and employees of Clinkerdagger provided necessary home updates for the Kitt family, who were connected with the project through Shriners Hospitals for Children — Spokane. Christine Kitt is raising two children diagnosed with cerebral palsy, and she is very grateful for the support.

The makeover, which took place October 6-8, 2008, included a new gravel driveway, new ramp, and an outdoor patio and deck at the family home in Otis Orchards. “The boys love to be outside and this project gives them a place they can safely access and enjoy,” said Kitt.

“Stay tuned for other surprises,” says Debi Moon, manager at Clinkerdagger.  “The people in Spokane have been really generous and it’s so exciting to be able to make a difference in the lives of others.  Clinkerdagger and its employees love to provide this kind of support to our community each year.”
