Please join us for an evening of live and silent auctions, delicious food, and jazz to help Habitat for Humanity of Huron Valley raise the roof on more homes for families in Washtenaw County.
We are a local non-profit providing an opportunity for volunteers to “swing a hammer” and share their resources. Together, we give children and their families hope for a better tomorrow, and make affordable housing in our community a matter of conscience and action! We partner with local low-income, wage earning families in Washtenaw County and extend to them an opportunity to purchase a home of their own and maintain an interest-free mortgage.
Our goal is to raise $100,000 through the sale of tickets to the event and through bids from attendees on live and silent auction items. All proceeds will benefit our local 2008 build projects. With your help we can partner with eight families in-need and help them realize the dignity of homeownership.
Tickets are $50 each. If you have any questions or would like to purchase tickets, please call our office at 734.677.1558.
Our auctioneer for the evening is Steve Gross of Premier Auction Services! Steve has been our auctioneer for the past three years and has really helped make our auctions a huge success!
