Morris Habitat for Humanity to Host
Virtual Hearts & Hammers Gala on Feb. 25
Fundraiser will provide homes and hope for families in need
RANDOLPH, N.J., Jan. 28, 2021–Morris Habitat for Humanity announces its first-ever virtual Hearts & Hammers Gala on Thursday, Feb. 25, from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m., in lieu of an in-person event.
The fun-filled evening will raise funds for the organization’s largest project to date—a 25-unit condominium complex planned for Randolph, New Jersey. Registration is free and open to the public.
Tune in to the live-streaming event to learn more about Morris Habitat’s mission to provide affordable housing as well as its impact on local communities. Attendees will hear directly from Habitat homeowner families who will share their stories, as well as honorees, volunteers and sponsors who have helped make Morris Habitat’s life-changing work possible.
The 16 th annual celebration, hosted by Toni Yates of WABC-TV, will also feature new construction projects, plans for the future, prize giveaways, and ways people can get involved–even during the pandemic.
“This has been a very challenging year, and the pandemic has put a spotlight on just how important safe, decent and affordable housing really is,” said Morris Habitat for Humanity CEO Blair Schleicher Wilson.
“While we would rather be gathering in person, the virtual gala will allow people to help build homes without ever leaving home.”
Corporate sponsors are stepping up to lend support to Morris Habitat’s vision of a world where everyone has a decent place to live. Major corporate sponsors to date include: GAF, Bayer, Valley Bank and Lakeland Bank.
