Helping to Make Homeownership a Reality for Deserving Families

MEMPHIS, Tenn., Sept. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- First Horizon Corporation (NYSE: FHN or "First Horizon") is excited to announce its participation in the relaunch of ABC's "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition," set to air in 2025. This sponsorship underscores First Horizon's dedication to empowering communities and fostering financial stability.

First Horizon's participation in filming the new season of "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" began last month in Houston and Orlando, and will conclude in Phoenix in September. The episodes will feature Clea Shearer and Joanna Teplin, of The Home Edit, as the new hosts, bringing their distinctive style to the home makeover process. The series will continue its tradition of showcasing inspiring stories and remarkable home transformations for families dedicated to their communities. This initiative highlights First Horizon's commitment to equipping families with the financial knowledge and support needed to achieve their goals of home ownership.

A central aspect of First Horizon's involvement will be The Home Fund, providing new homeowners in select episodes with $100,000. This support will assist the families as they settle into their new homes and create a foundation for long-term stability and comfort.

This sponsorship expands First Horizon's existing relationship with The Home Edit, which began earlier this year with the launch of THE Money Edit. This collaboration merges The Home Edit's organizational expertise with First Horizon's financial insight, creating a digital resource to simplify financial planning and improve overall financial wellness.

"At First Horizon, we believe that making a house a home goes beyond the four walls. It's about family, community, and laying the groundwork for long-term financial success," said Erin Pryor, Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing and Experience Officer at First Horizon. "We are honored to team up with The Home Edit for this new season and assist these deserving families in creating a brighter future where they can excel in their new homes and financial lives."

First Horizon's involvement will ensure a smooth transition for families into their new homes, complementing the custom-built houses provided by Taylor Morrison and the organizational and design expertise of The Home Edit co-founders.

"We're thrilled to continue our work with First Horizon on the new season of the show. Our collaboration blends home organization with financial education, aiming to transform homes and set families up for long-term success," said Clea Shearer and Joanna Teplin, co-founders of The Home Edit and new hosts. "First Horizon's dedication to empowering communities resonates with the spirit of our show. We look forward to seeing the incredible transformations and the positive change we will create together."
