Worldwide, 100-House Build to Honor Habitat for Humanity Founder

President Jimmy Carter will address hundreds of volunteers at opening ceremony

LANETT, Ala., Aug. 27 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- During the week of Aug. 30 to
Sept. 4, thousands of volunteers with The Fuller Center for Housing in more
than 25 U.S. cities and nine other countries will build, renovate or dedicate
100 homes for families in need as part of the inaugural Millard Fuller Legacy
Build. The six-day event will honor The Fuller Center's and Habitat for
Humanity's late founder, Millard Fuller, and his vision of a world without
poverty housing.

The kickoff celebration will take place in Mr. Fuller's boyhood home of
Lanett, Ala., on Sunday, August 30 at 3:30 p.m. EDT in the Valley Community
Center. President Jimmy Carter, a longtime supporter of Mr. Fuller, will be
the keynote speaker. Morris Dees, a former business partner of Mr. Fuller and
the co-founder of the Southern Poverty Law Center, will also speak.

"I'd do anything to help honor Millard Fuller's legacy," President Carter told
the LaGrange Daily News regarding the celebration. "He was one of my personal
heroes. He was a great inspiration."

The Millard Fuller Legacy Build is anchored in Lanett, Ala., and was
originally planned as a special, 50th wedding anniversary celebration for Mr.
Fuller and his wife. After his unexpected death on February 3, 2009, Fuller
Center supporters refocused the event on honoring and continuing Mr. Fuller's
life work.

Fuller Center President David Snell said that this event is part of how
legacies are built and carried on. "During his 33 years building houses,
Millard Fuller helped 200,000 families know the joy of having a decent home to
call their own," said Snell. "It is a legacy that ought to be celebrated and
built upon and that's just what we'll do with the Millard Fuller Legacy
Build."
