Build a Dream Fundraiser 2026
Since our start in 1993, Habitat for Humanity Quad Cities has built 147 homes, over 120 accessibility ramps, and countless home repairs, including our repair initiative in the Central City area of Davenport. We truly could not do any of this work without the support of kind and generous people like you. Your support of Build a Dream Fundraiser will help us reach our fundraising goal of $80,000 and will allow us to continue our mission to build and renovate homes, revitalize our community, and restore hope for families in need. Our signature fundraiser draws approximately 250 Habitat supporters every year! This year, we will be returning to Bally’s Quad Cities in Rock Island on Friday, October 16, 2026. There will be a buffet dinner, complimentary beer and wine, games, raffle baskets, and a silent auction. Emceeing will be Andy McCray of Local 4 News. NEW this year we will have live music from The Experience in addition to a LIVE auction and fund-a-cause led by Jana Stenzel of Stenzel Auction. Attendees will also hear from a Habitat Homeowner about their journey to homeownership and what home means to their family. In addition to the in-person event, there will be an online auction open to the public (no ticket purchase necessary for the online auction). The online auction will open at 12:00 PM on Friday, October 10 and will close at 12:00 PM on Monday October 20. If you have any questions about this event, please contact Cassandra at 563-359-9066 x 203 or [email protected] |
