The Academy of Home Staging Announces Donation to The American Diabetes Association (ADA)
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) July 30, 2013 -- The Academy of Home Staging announces it will donate $50 for each student that enrolls in the October 7th – 12th class in Tampa Bay to the American Diabetes Association.
Diabetes is a serious disease that strikes nearly 26 million Americans. A quarter of those affected by diabetes are not aware that they have the disease. More people in the United States die from diabetes each year than those who die from breast cancer and AIDS combined. Diabetes is a leading cause of blindness and non-trauma related amputations. Recent estimates project that as many as one in three American adults will have diabetes in 2050 unless we take the steps to stop diabetes. The Academy of Home Staging is pleased to join in the cause to help find a cure for this disease.
The class will be taught by Mary Ellen Fortier, President and Founder of Decorative Interiors by Mary Ellen based in Bradenton, Florida. Mary Ellen is both an Advanced Certified Home Stager and a Certified Home Staging Trainer. She is a RESA-PRO (Real Estate Staging Association PRO member) member as well as a member of her local Real Estate Association, Chamber of Commerce, Womens Council of Realtors and many more related organizations. She is a successful home stager as well as interior decorator.
“Diabetes is a personal cause for me,” stated Mary Ellen Fortier, VP of Training at The Academy of Home Staging. “Like millions of others, I have Type 2 diabetes and many of my family and friends have Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes. I am pleased to donate $50 per student to help this cause.”
In addition to the donation of $50 for each enrolled student, The Academy will also provide each student that registers and pays in full by August 7th a $200-early-bird savings from the class tuition.
