Restore America Gala
Carter is hosting the Restore America Gala, honoring six champions of historic preservation whose leadership has helped restore and revitalize their respective communities. The event takes place in Washington D.C on June 3, at the Library of Congress.
"For the past five years, the National Trust has proudly joined with HGTV to salute the Restore America Heroes who are making significant contributions to the preservation of America's communities through their unyielding commitment, vision, and leadership," said Richard Moe, president of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. "This year's award winners represent the diverse range of important preservation work being done across the country, and by the Department of State — worldwide, to key U.S. owned buildings. The National Trust is pleased to honor them."
In 2007, HGTV launched “Change the World. Start at Home," a community revitalization and environmental cause effort organized in partnership with Rebuilding Together, the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the Natural Resources Defense Council. Carter put his expert craftsman skills to work for the cause as part of the network's awareness campaign.
