Dream Team

 

They came together for the first

time on February 21, 2008 to

discuss their strategy.  As the

game plan for success was laid out

before them, the rookies whispered

questions to the seasoned veterans

who smiled and answered with the

confidence that only comes with the

experience of a previous successful

undertaking of such a monumental

task.

 

Normally the terms “rookie” and “veteran” this time of year bring to mind the race for the pennant by the boys of summer, and “team” is all about “America’s favorite pastime” – baseball.  But in Oklahoma City six metro area builders are coming together as a team during the first week of June to race not for a pennant, but for something much larger.  It is a race to build a dream in only five days as the 2008 Home Builders Blitz gets underway.

 

Central Oklahoma Habitat for Humanity is privileged to partner with 2006 veteran Blitz Builders Ideal Homes, Southcreek Construction, and Home Creations and 2008 newcomers Rausch Coleman Homes, 4 Corners Construction, and O L Development.  These quality home builders and Central Oklahoma Habitat will join more than 100 Habitat affiliates nationwide to complete some 263 homes simultaneously during the 2008 Home Builders Blitz, May 31 through June 7.

 

Be sure to follow this exciting event right here as our builder team makes the dream of home ownership a reality for six hardworking limited income families this summer!

 

Many grateful thanks to all the builders, suppliers, subcontractors, and volunteers partnering with us in the 2008 Home Builders Blitz to make six hard working, limited income families' dreams of "home" come true!
