Playhouse Auction & Raffle to Make a Major Impact on Youth ProgramsI have been working for the SHBA for some time but am still impressed with how our members will rally to support a need in our community.
Late last year, I was sitting in my office and took a phone call from City Council member Steve Salvatori.

From there, the momentum continued and we ended up with a total of 12 uniquely designed playhouses that were featured at the Premier Home Improvement Show and were all successfully sold as part of a fun auction that generated over $30,000 for programs that benefit at-risk youth in our community.
There was great publicity for this event in the community, that included recognition for the builders, but I wanted to personally thank everyone who responded to my request. You will see from the following list that most of the builders received significant support from their suppliers and subcontractors in constructing their playhouses.
I also want to thank those who stepped forward to purchase the playhouses and to Ziggy’s, FMI Sales, Avista, ProSource and Hytopz for helping to deliver the playhouses to their final destination. It was a difficult task and we could not have done it without their support.
At the end of this experience I have reaffirmed my belief in our members and could not be more proud to represent this great industry. These individuals proved to me that we truly are focused on our core purpose of Promoting, Protecting and Supporting our industry and our local community.
Thank you,
Executive Officer, SHBA
