NRCA DISASTER RELIEF VIDEO WINS AWARD Rosemont, Ill.—The National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA) has been awarded a Silver Plaque in the category of Charitable Activity from the 42nd INTERCOM International Communications Video & Interactive Media Competition for its video, "The Storm Is Passing Over." INTERCOM annually honors exceptional work for educational, corporate-sponsored, industrial and interactive productions. The video was created to raise awareness about NRCA's Disaster Relief Fund, which was established by the National Roofing Foundation (NRF), a separate but related organization to NRCA. The Disaster Relief Fund was established to provide new roofs in regions affected by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. The video showcases work done by NRCA members for one of the Disaster Relief Fund's projects—the rehabilitation of the roof on the Greater St. Mary Missionary Baptist Church in New Orleans, which was damaged severely by Hurricane Rita and has no insurance to pay for repairs—and emphasizes the difference an organization can make with focused philanthropic efforts and committed members. "The Storm Is Passing Over" can be viewed at www.nationalroofingfoundation.net. For more information about NRCA's Disaster Relief Fund and other charitable affiliations and projects, contact Sarah Gough, NRCA's director of affiliate operations, at (800) 323-9545, Ext. 7507, or e-mail sgough@nrca.net. ###
