Award-Winning Actor Ving Rhames Kicks Off ADT Always Cares Annual Week of Service in Los Angeles

The ADT Corporation (NYSE: ADT), a leading provider of security and automation solutions for homes and businesses, will embrace thousands of employees and family members to kick off its ADT Always Cares Annual Week of Service on May 2. Among the sea of supporters will be award-winning actor Ving Rhames, who is not only a star in the soon to be released Mission Impossible 5, but is also the brand personification in the company's newest ad campaign as he brings to life the myriad of ways ADT helps protect the things that matter most. More than 150 events will take place in the U.S. and Canada over the week - all with the goal of improving the communities where ADT operates.

"At ADT, we are committed to building stronger, safer communities," said Naren Gursahaney, chief executive officer of ADT. "Whether that means installing a security system in a home or business, or cleaning up a neighborhood park that has seen better days, we are committed to doing whatever we can to help our neighbors feel safe and secure."

Rhames and ADT team members will kick off the week of service in Los Angeles, partnering with A Place Called Home (APCH) - an organization which provides underprivileged young people with educational support, counseling, mentorship programs and college scholarships. During the day, the group will assist in making APCH and the surrounding community a better environment. Launch day activities include freshening up the APCH facilities to create a welcoming space, tending to two gardens that bring peace and serenity to the community, readying the APCH annex for a major makeover to help better serve more members and beautifying the surrounding streets and parks.

During the week, thousands of ADT team members will participate in volunteer events in more than 100 markets across the U.S. and Canada. Activities range from building homes for deserving families to Mother's Day appreciation breakfasts at domestic violence centers to classroom refurbishment projects in honor of National Teacher Appreciation Week.

"Whether I'm home or away, feeling safe and secure in my surroundings are things I would never compromise," said Rhames. "Those same feelings should be experienced by everyone, so I'm honored to be part of the ADT Always Cares Week of Service and hope the work we're doing inspires members of the community to pay it forward."
