Our annual
fundraiser is the Dream Builder's Breakfast held
each July. This year it will be held on
July 19 at 8:00 am at Snow King. If you
are interested in attending, please email
info@tetonhabitat.org and we will send you
all the details!
The first event was
held in July 2006 and was a huge success by all
accounts! Over 200 people attended to
learn about Habitat's mission and the work being
done to partner with low income families in
Teton County.
Richie Engler,
an avid support of Habitat affiliates around the
country, challenged our supporters to increase
their giving by offering a $50,000 matching
grant. Event guests responded with enthusiasm and
contributed over $130,000 to support home
building efforts in Teton County!
Several
guests became founding members of Habitat's
Dream Builder's Society by making a
significant multi-year
pledge to support the work of Habitat.
Donors who pledge their support for our mission
over several years allow us to do a better job
of planning for future projects and establish
realistic building projections.
Habitat selects
approximately three new families to partner with
each year. Habitat families are hardworking Teton County residents
who have a dire need for housing and who are
determined to create a more stable future for
their children.
