Proceeds from the Dream House support the Lake County YMCA. The construction of 25 homes throughout Lake County since 1994 has helped to raise approximately $5 million for the project’s mission of providing programs and facilities for the community.
“We are excited to celebrate the 25th anniversary of our Lake County YMCA Dream House,” Dick Bennett, executive director and CEO of Lake County YMCA, said previously.
“The Dream House is our biggest fundraiser every year. It allows us to keep our mission alive in this community by providing the very best programs and facilities available,” he said. “Every dollar that we raise goes back into the Lake County Y to ensure that the Y remains available to every person regardless of their ability to pay. We are grateful for the community support and the growth that this project continues to see each year.”
