Paul Belcher Has Winning Entry For 2017 Chattanooga St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway

  • Monday, June 26, 2017

This year, Paul Belcher saw one of his dreams come true – and it only cost him $100. The winner of Chattanooga’s St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway was surprised and honored to be one of the hundreds of winners across the country to support St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

Estimated to be valued at $650,000, the single-family home was built by G.T. Issa Construction and is located in the Eagle Bluff Woods subdivision in Chattanooga. The home is approximately 5,900 square feet and includes four bedrooms, three and one-half bathrooms, a finished basement and a wraparound front porch with panoramic views.

Not only does the St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway benefit the new homeowner, but also the patients of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital who are battling cancer and other deadly diseases.

For the past 27 years, St. Jude has given away more than 450 houses and raised more than $370 million in ticket sales, making it the largest single-event fundraiser for the hospital.  It’s because of programs like this that families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel housing or food, so they can focus on helping their child live.

The construction of a home would not be possible without the generous support of the community and loyal sponsors including: WRCB Channel 3 TV, G.T. Issa Construction, US-101, Chattanooga Times Free Press, Ashley HomeStore, Geoff Ramsey of ReMax Properties, BMW of Chattanooga, as well as National Sponsors Brizo, Shaw Floors and Trane.

Those who reserved a ticket to win the St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway or attended the open house could enter to win additional prizes. For a complete list of winners and prizes, call 1-800-750-6962 or visit dreamhome.org
