Builder’s Appliance Center Scores with New Outdoor Kitchen Pavilion
Grand Opening events to include autograph/photo session with Chris “Birdman” Andersen; proceeds to benefit Bonfils Blood Center

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (June 16, 2009) – Colorado’s leading provider of luxury appliances, Builder’s Appliance Center (BAC), will unveil its new Outdoor Kitchen Pavilion with a special event on Saturday, June 27 between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. including an appearance by Chris “Birdman” Andersen. The showroom is located at 1880 W. Oxford Avenue in Englewood, Colo.

In addressing the huge demand for outdoor kitchens, BAC has created the Outdoor Kitchen Pavilion – unique to Colorado – that features the latest innovations in outdoor grills coupled with state-of-the-art design, stonework, tiling, along with incredible water and lighting special effects.  The Pavilion will give people the opportunity to visualize exactly what their dream outdoor kitchen can be while getting ideas on different products to meet specific needs. 

At a cost of just $10, attendees will also have the opportunity to meet and pose for a photograph with star basketball player Chris Andersen. Participating guests will receive a 5X7 photo with “Birdman” following the event. All proceeds from BAC’s grand opening event benefit Bonfils Blood Center which exists to, in partnership with the community, save and enhance lives.

“We are thrilled that Builder’s Appliance Center has chosen Bonfils to be the beneficiary of this unique event,” Leslie Strate, executive director of Bonfils Blood Center Foundation asserts. “With summer in full swing, blood donations are still needed from our community members, yet it takes more than blood to save a life. The money raised at this event will help support a variety of blood center initiatives including community outreach, blood supply safety, research and more.”
