One of the best things about working with 1000’s of builders around the country is that we not only get to help these builders grow their business each day, but we also get to hear about all the ways they are truly helping transform their local communities.

Payne Family Homes is one of our long standing builder clients (in fact, you can read more in this case study). When they reached out to BDX’s Chad Bria to tell him that they would be partnering with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital for the 2014 St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway, we were excited to learn more about the project.

Building and giving away homes in nearly 30 markets in 2014, the St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway is a 22-year tradition that is one of the largest single-event fundraisers for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. To date, more than 340 homes have been given away and the program has raised more than $270 million to save the lives of children with cancer and other deadly diseases at St. Jude.

We are so proud of the work that Payne Family Homes is doing on this project, and we were also happy to participate in a small way by BDX creating a photo-real rendering for the 4,500 square-foot home – to help promote raffle ticket sales in advance of the home being built.

Only 9,000 $100 tickets will be available starting in mid-June for the 2014 St. Louis St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway. Potential homeowners will get their first chance to see this beautiful new Payne Family Home in person at open houses every Saturday and Sunday from July 26 – August 31. The lucky winning ticket will be drawn in early September on FOX 2 – KTVI.
