A champagne bar and live music provided by Audio Beach and dancing celebrating the beauty of local heritage will entertain guests while they view the items up for auction.

“We are so excited to be celebrating our 2nd annual gala,” says Debbie Crouch, Executive Director of ESTHFH. “It is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy our culture, bring together the wonderful contributors who help make our organization strong, and promote our continued efforts. It is also a fun and easy way for community members who are interested in learning a bit more about what Habitat is doing to fight sub-standard housing in their community to be introduced to our mission. We deeply value the support that our community members provide us.”
