McKeag Family Volunteers with IMSIG for NCAA involvement in Habitat for Humanity

Douglas B. McKeag, MD, MS, his wife Diana, and daughter Heather, an Indiana University School of Medicine medical student volunteered with the Internal Medicine Student Interest Groug (IMSIG) to help the NCAAA build permanent houses for people displaced by hurricane Katrina. The houses were built on April 2 during the Men’s Final Four in Indianapolis. The frames, built in collaboration with Habitat for Humanity International, were shipped to Beaumont, Texas, for placement and completion.

 

There were 120 volunteers who helped frame three houses, including National Guard members who led the build. The houses were built as part of the relationship the NCAA and Habitat for Humanity International formed last fall to provide hurricane-disaster relief.
