Dear Naomi,
Thank you for your help in making South Shore Habitat for Humanity’s Annual Gala & Auction a huge success again this year! Held on Saturday, May 6 at the Reebok World Headquarters in Canton, the event brought together over 300 guests and raised approximately $90,000 in conbination with the previous weekend’s Birdhouse Show at the South Shore Plaza. This is a significant jump from past years and we are truly thrilled with the success of both events.
The array of auction items featured this year was truly outstanding! So many companies and individuals made donations to us that helped us raise $50,000 in the live and silent auctions! We especially appreciate Bernie & Phy’s for donating a $50 gift certificate to this year’s event.
All of the proceeds from the Annual Gala & Auction and the Birdhouse Show will support construction projects in 2006. Right now, we have 4 homes under construction, and 4 Family Partners investing “sweat equity” and anticipating the day their homes will be complete and they will become home owners.
On behalf of our families, our staff and our Board of Directors, thank you for partnering with us in the 2006 Annual Gala & Auction. We look forward to working with you again next year.
Sincerely,
Mark O’Reilly
Executive Director
