Bring It Home Habitat Challenge

Timberwood Community

EVENT DETAILS


An anonymous donor issued a $780,000 challenge grant to Nashville Area Habitat for Humanity, providing half the funds necessary to complete the last 26 homes in the all-Habitat Timberwood community. David Gray & Ray LaMontagne are joining in the challenge by offering a percentage of their concert proceeds to benefit the "Bring It Home" for Habitat challenge. Volunteers are needed now to help build these homes. Tickets to the concert will be given away to volunteers leading up to the August 22nd performance!

Some families who were affected by the flood are seeking home ownership through Habitat for Humanity. By completing these 26 remaining homes, we as a community will help place these families in new homes and end their search for permanent shelter. Proceeds from the David Gray & Ray LaMontagne concert will directly sponsor homes for families affected by the flood.


In addition to donations, Habitat for Humanity needs volunteers more than ever! To help hit a home run, AEG Live, Fox 17 morning show, Nashville Scene, Lightning 100 and Team Green Adventures are partnering for the largest Habitat volunteer initiative ever. Volunteer any Saturday and/or Sunday between July 24th and August 21st to help build up the community and enter in a drawing for prime seating at David Gray & Ray LaMontagne on August 22nd at Bridgestone Arena (tickets on sale now!)
