This Fall, the public has an opportunity to help area families in need when they visit four BATC Foundation Artisan Dream Homes during the Parade of Homes. When visitors tour these high-end homes, they are asked to make a tax-deductible $5.00 donation at the door, which supports the BATC Foundation, the charitable arm of the Builders Association of the Twin Cities. The Foundation builds and remodels homes for Twin Cities’ families in need. One additional home on the tour will charge a $5.00 admission: Home #1, a Special Dream Home built for charity (more details are included in a separate press release). All other Parade HomesSM are open for viewing at no cost.
