This year’s grand prize, the Dream Home house, is valued at approximately $310,000 and features five bedrooms, four baths, a designer kitchen with breakfast nook, an oversized master suite and master bath. Construction of the St. Jude Dream Home house is coordinated by Pratt & Associates with the support of local and national contractors and suppliers including JHP Contracting, ProBuild and USA Ready Mix.
Beth White, mother of St. Jude patient Jack White and co-chair of the campaign said, “By all accounts, Pratt and Associates, along with their suppliers and subcontractors, has gone above and beyond our expectations in building this year’s home. The open floor plan, top-of-the-line materials, and attention to detail make this house a true dream home. If you have not come out to see this home, you should definitely visit this week.”
Winners of the house and other prizes will be drawn live Sunday at 11 a.m. WRCB Channel 3. Tune into WUSY US-101 for more details.
