Allison Haley Luffman, a regional manager for Showplace Design Center in Tennessee, is involved with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital’s annual Dream Home fundraisers. St. Jude’s is a world leader in treating childhood cancer and other life threatening diseases. Patients receive excellent care that is made possible through generous public donations. The Dream Home fundraisers, made possibly by people like Allison Haley Luffman and hundreds of other sponsors, significantly contribute to the $2.2 million that is needed daily for the hospital to continue its life-saving programs and research.
Each year, sponsors from all over the United States unite behind a common mission to help St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Several Dream Home fundraisers take place around the nation, featuring a newly built home valued at $300,000-600,000 as the grand prize. With a $100 ticket, supporters are entered into the raffle. In addition to the possibility of winning a new home, they can also win other donated prizes such as cars, Apple watches, and large gift certificates donated by area sponsors.
The Dream Home fundraiser was started in 1991 by Dr. Donald Mack, a pediatrician from Shreveport, Louisiana. The first Dream Home was constructed in Shreveport and raised $160,000 for the research hospital. Now, each year more than 30 homes are been constructed across the nation, raising $23 million annually.
