Constellation Energy (NYSE: CEG), announced today that it has
been awarded the Distinguished and Notable Service Awards from the
National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials
(NAHRO). The awards were presented at NAHRO’s 2009 National
Conference and Exhibition in Washington, D.C. on Oct. 4. NAHRO
recognized Constellation Energy for its project to renovate the
Salvation Army’s Boys and Girls Club of Franklin Square in
Baltimore, Md.
“We are very pleased to accept this award and for Constellation
Energy employees to be recognized for their commitment to improving
the communities where they live and work,” said Terry Castagnera, a
government relations program manager for Constellation Energy who
accepted the award and led the Salvation Army Boys and Girls Club
renovation.
More than 125 volunteers from Constellation Energy dedicated
3,600 hours over two weeks in September 2008 to perform an extreme
makeover on the Salvation Army’s busiest Boys and Girls Club in
Baltimore. Employees replaced old and worn equipment, demolished
and reconstructed rooms, added lighting and safety equipment,
installed IT hardware and software, and decorated every room with
new paint, flooring and furniture. Altogether, Constellation Energy
contributed more than $214,000 in estimated labor, materials and
in-kind donations to the project.
As a result of the project, the newly renovated Club doubled its
capacity and now provides 150 at-risk children with a safe and
comfortable place to play and learn.
“The support that Constellation Energy has provided us
demonstrates to these kids and their community that they are not
alone and that there are people who care about them and want to
help,” said Major Roger Coulson, Baltimore Area Commander of the
Salvation Army.
Constellation Energy is a member of NAHRO, the leading housing

Energy works with more than 40 housing authority communities
throughout the U.S. In addition to electricity supply,
