GAF, North America’s largest roofing manufacturer, announced today that it will be holding an event with special guest Kid Rock at this year’s International Roofing Expo (IRE), which takes place from February 26–28 in Las Vegas, NV. Guests are invited to have their picture taken with Kid Rock and receive an autographed photo at the event, which is to be held across from GAF’s IRE booth on February 26 at 4:30 p.m.
In August of 2013 at the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, GAF donated a motorcycle built by Orange County Choppers to war veteran Robert Dickey on stage at the Kid Rock concert. The collaboration led to the realization that GAF and Kid Rock share a mutual focus on creating jobs in America along with supporting and giving back to the military. One of the charities that Kid Rock strongly supports is Operation Finally Home, which provides custom-built, mortgage-free homes to America’s Heroes and their widows. Through GAF and Kid Rock’s partnership, GAF will give back to this foundation by including Kid Rock in GAF’s summer contractor promotion. For each promotion entry, GAF will make a donation to Operation Finally Home.
"Our relationship with Kid Rock has been a great experience, as we share some of the same ideals and understand the importance of investing in America and supporting our troops," explained Paul Bromfield, senior vice president of marketing and corporate development at GAF. "GAF has an unparalleled level of investment in new roofing plants, and we are actively working to bring new jobs and services online at our upcoming facility at Cedar City, Utah."
