Framing a Future: Adventure Auction to Build a Home |
| |
| Fundraiser to Build a Home for a Local Family |
| |
| January 10, 2006 - On Saturday, February 4, 2006, Habitat for Humanity of the Greater Teton Area will host its principal fundraiser of the year. All proceeds raised from the event will be used to build a home in the Millward subdivision that will be purchased by a local family. |
| |
| The second annual Framing a Future: Adventure Auction to Build a Home, will be an evening to remember as auction donors raise the bidding by strutting their stuff on the runway. The live auction will include 20 theme packages of activities and wares that are sure to ignite a generous spirit. |
| |
| To top things off, the Lynn and Foster Friess Family Foundation have generously agreed to match every dollar raised by the event up to $25,000. Habitat needs to raise $50,000 to complete its next home. |
| |
| This home will be purchased by Rena Trail, mother of eight-year old Nichole and lifetime Jackson resident. Rena works several jobs to make ends meet; however, buying a home was completely out of reach until she was selected for a Habitat home. This opportunity will allow Rena and Nichole to make Jackson their home forever. |
| |
| The event will be held at Crescent H Ranch and doors will open at 6:30 pm. Heavy hors d’ oeuvres will be served and an open bar will be provided thanks to Spirits West. The Nicole Madison Jazz Quartet will spice up the evening with soulful tunes prior to the live auction. |
| |
| Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit housing organization that relies on local volunteers and donors to build homes that are sold at cost with a no interest loan. Future homeowners must spend at least 500 hours working on their home, which is deed restricted to ensure permanent affordability. |
