Cornerstone Building Brands Donates to Habitat for Humanity with Lady A
Cornerstone Building Brands, Inc. and LadyAID, the philanthropic effort founded by Grammy Award-winning country trio Lady A, have pledged a donation of $50,000 in Ply Gem windows and Mastic by Ply Gem vinyl siding to Habitat for Humanity’s Rockford, Illinois, affiliate to support affordable housing in the Rockford community. In addition, Cornerstone Building Brands is contributing $10,000 to support LadyAID’s local, national and global initiatives.
Donation details
This product donation builds on Cornerstone Building Brands’ commitment to help families access safe, affordable housing through its Home for Good project. The second of its kind, this year’s donation coincides with Lady A’s first-ever holiday tour, which includes a Rockford performance on Dec. 12.
“Building stronger communities is at the heart of who we are at Cornerstone Building Brands,” says Gunner Smith, Chief Executive Officer. “Through our Home for Good project, we’re proud to donate Ply Gem windows and Mastic vinyl siding — trusted brands that deliver quality and durability — to Habitat for Humanity Rockford. Together with Habitat for Humanity and Lady A, we’re helping families achieve the dream of safe, affordable homes and making a lasting impact where it matters most.”
As ambassadors for the company’s Home for Good project since 2024, Lady A has helped Cornerstone Building Brands raise awareness of the affordable housing crisis while also supporting its mission; from helping make critical repairs that improved the safety and comfort of an elderly couple’s home in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, to supporting rebuild efforts in their home states of Georgia and Tennessee after Hurricanes Helene and Milton.
What people are saying
“We’ve seen firsthand how a safe, affordable home can change the trajectory of a family,” says Keri Asevedo, Executive Director of the Rockford Area Habitat for Humanity. “This contribution of windows and siding will help us deliver durable, energy-efficient solutions that improve comfort, reduce energy costs and support long-term stability for Rockford families. We’re grateful to Cornerstone Building Brands and Lady A for their support of our mission.”
“Home has always been at the heart of our music and our lives. We’re honored to partner with Cornerstone Building Brands and Habitat for Humanity to lift up families in Rockford. As we visit each city on our holiday tour, it means a lot to connect the spirit of the holiday season with giving back locally," says Lady A’s Hillary Scott.
