Counting our Blessing- Another Successful Gala

We are grateful to live in a community with so many amenities like great healthcare facilities, arts & entertainment centers, fabulous restaurants, shopping options, and recreational choices. However, there are people who work hard to provide those services who can’t afford a safe and decent place to live. Fortunately, this community is also very apt to giving back and that is where our story begins.

On March 30th the Habitat hosted our signature fundraising event and the donations have made it possible for a local, hardworking family (who) to build and purchase a Habitat home with a mortgage that is guaranteed affordable for their family. Habitat is breaking ground for a new home in the West Southern Pines in May and will also be able to do repairs in the surrounding neighborhood.

This year’s Gala has been one of the most successful galas on many levels, thanks to all of you.  In 2019 we set out to thank our loyal supporters and expand our reach to people who otherwise would not have considered supporting Habitat. We crossed a generational divide to attract young professionals who are looking to make a social impact, such as Everything Pines, Synergy Wealth Management, Main Street Homes Loans, and many more. We engaged civic and social organizations, including Pinehurst Rotary, Southern Pines Rotary, Kiwanis, and The Carolina Philharmonic, with help from our dear friend Penny Enroth.  The Gala set the stage for developing personal relationships and commitments from top-level executives who run the companies where many of our homeowners work. Companies like St. Joseph’s of the Pines, Pinehurst Resorts, FirstHealth, Penick Village and Cooper Ford have been longtime advocates of Habitat’s mission of affordable housing.
