$539,265!!!!

April 11, 2011 by

Last week, I told you about how we were giving away a house this past weekend to benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. I thought I’d let you know how it went. The St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway project in the Peoria, Illinois area raised over $539,000!!!! That’s incredible!!!

It was all due to the sub-contractors and suppliers who donated their time and resources, the volunteers that worked the open houses and passed out flyers and posters, the great St. Jude staff here in Central Illinois and the more than 5000 people who bought raffle tickets! THANK YOU!!

Here is the video of the live drawing last night. My husband is the handsome builder!!

  1. How awesome is that!? I love how the newscaster said, “We’ll get out of your living room as soon as possible.” to the winner. What an amazing prize!

    Your hubby did great on camera as well. :)
