Hard Hat & Black Tie Virtual Gala is Almost Here!

Join us online on Saturday, May 2 at 7:30 p.m. for the first-ever virtual Hard Hat & Black Tie Gala. It’ll be the best virtual party you attend all year. 

Home is more important now than ever before. Every dollar raised protects homeowners and multiplies Habitat homeownership opportunities in the Twin Cities.

You WON’T want to miss this event. Find details and get started here.

Our emcee, T. Mychael Rambo, will bring tons of energy to your home. You can expect to see him in a fly outfit delivering smooth songs and powerful stories. He’ll be joined by Habitat President & CEO, Chris Coleman and a few other special guests to bring you an uplifting evening. 

We’ll even have a video conference with Juanita, a long-time Habitat homeowner, to catch up with how her family is doing through the COVID-19 crisis. (Spoiler: her family has three heroes working the front-lines. They are simply amazing.)

And, as a guest at our event, you’ll have exclusive access to the Hard Hat After Party, featuring the music of Grammy Award winner and New Orleans zydeco legend Chubby Carrier.
