April in Minnesota has arrived, which means that all of us at Twin Cities Habitat are gearing up for the BEST party of the year! Join us for our Hard Hat & Black Tie Virtual Gala on Saturday, April 24 at 7:00 p.m. from the comfort of your own home!
Hard Hat & Black Tie Virtual Gala is free—no tickets required! You won’t want to miss the best virtual gala of the season, emceed by Habitat favorite T. Mychael Rambo, featuring an online auction, a fun program, and a LIVE After party! Go all out with your construction couture outfit or get comfy in your lumberjack flannel PJs. Make sure to tell your friends, family, and coworkers to join in on this fantastic evening!
If we learned one thing this year, it is that home has never been more important. At the Gala, you will meet two incredible people who know the importance of a safe, stable Habitat home.
Angel bought her Habitat home in the fall of 2019. Prior to that, she shared a two-bedroom apartment in North Minneapolis with her three children: Don, Aja, and Zyana. Not only is her Habitat home providing her children the space to learn and grow, it also became their safe haven when Angel came down with COVID-19. Read Angel's story here.
We will also introduce you to Symphonie, daughter of Habitat homeowner Melo who bought a Habitat home in 2011. Symphonie reflects on how her Habitat home gave her the space where she could study, find some peace and quiet, and be herself. It was the strong foundation she needed to pursue her dreams and degree.
Guests will also enjoy a live After Party, hosted by Joetta Wright, and featuring an exclusive performance with local singer songwriter Ashley Dubose. Ashley is best known for competing in NBC's The Voice, and was chosen "Best Female Vocalist" by City Pages. This evening will be jammed packed with fun and we hope you are able to join!
