American Dream Awards Breakfast
American Dream Awards
Omni Parker House Fall 2010, Official Date to be Announced
Each year, the American Dream Awards Breakfast
event raises needed funds to support Habitat Greater Boston's
work to eliminate poverty housing by building affordable homes
with very low-income families.
Homeownership is one of the main components
of the American dream, and one of the most important goals for
long-term financial security, even in these uncertain times. For many low-income families, Habitat
homeownership provides not only a safe and stable place to live, but
also a chance to break generational bonds of poverty.
The American Dream Awards are presented to men and women
who have dedicated their lives to addressing issues of injustuce in the Greater Boston community.
We will be selling tables at the same prices as last year. Corporate sponsorships begin at $3,500 for a table of ten. All proceeds benefit the home building
programs of Habitat for Humanity Greater Boston.
If you are interested in attending or sponsoring the event, please contact Lark Palermo at (617) 423-2223 or larkpalermo@habitatboston.org.
