Fischer Homes will achieve a major milestone in 2022 by becoming the first builder in the country to build three homes in one year for the St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway program, which benefits St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital!

Since 2003, Fischer Homes has completed 16 St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway homes and has raised more than $24 million for St. Jude. The three homes Fischer Homes will complete this year are part of the St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway campaigns in Cincinnati, St. Louis, and Louisville and are expected to raise $5 million in combined ticket sales.

“Building better communities is part of our mission, and there is no better avenue to do this than the lifesaving mission of St. Jude,” said Steve Whaley, Director of Marketing at Fischer Homes. “We were able to grow our St. Jude efforts from humble beginnings to what they are today thanks to the support of our incredible trade partners and vendors in Cincinnati, St. Louis, and Louisville, our media partners and the public. Together our fight against childhood cancer continues.” 

“Fischer Homes will accomplish an incredible feat in 2022: completing and donating three homes to the St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway. These beautiful houses represent dreams realized for three lucky winners, all while moving closer to the St. Jude dream of a world in which no child dies in the dawn of life,” said Steve Froehlich, Chief Revenue Officer of ALSAC, the fundraising and awareness organization for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. “The generosity of Fischer Homes makes a difference for children everywhere by helping fund the $11.5 billion, six-year St. Jude strategic plan that triples global investments to impact more of the 400,000 kids around the world with cancer each year.”
