Built It, For A Cure
Show Home To Benefit Susan G. Komen Fund
Susan G. Komen’s Build for the Cure Show House is coming to a neighborhood near you! For Your Home, the country’s No. 2 most-aired house and garden show on PBS, is joining forces with the award-winning team of E.S. Johnson Builders to create the Build for the Cure Show House in the Springfield community in Fort Mill, S.C. Proceeds will benefit the Susan G. Komen Fund, the largest grass-roots initiative committed to finding a cure for breast cancer.
The kick-off event will be held Fri., Oct. 16, and tickets are available online at www.foryourhome.com, Lowe’s Food Stores or Black-Lion. Proceeds from the kick-off will benefit the Charlotte Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure®.
Beginning Oct. 17, the custom-built, 5,700-square-foot house will open to the public on three consecutive weekends for home and garden tours. Tour hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Friday through Sunday.
“The team at E.S. Johnson Builders is excited to again be involved with the Susan G. Komen organization and For Your Home,” says company founder and owner Eric Johnson. “I have family members and friends who have been affected by breast cancer, so this project is very close to my heart.” TCW
