On March 20th, beginning at 10 AM, Habitat for Humanity of Chester County will be hosting a virtual presentation of the 18th annual Build a House…Build a Dream contest. Fox & Roach/Trident Charities is proud to be a founding sponsor of this event.

This year’s event will be held virtually for the safety of our participants, volunteers, and staff members. Fifth-grade students from the entire Delaware valley have been invited to participate by submitting videos and photos of their dream homes to be virtually judged by a panel of architects and long time Habitat volunteers. A presentation highlighting the student’s designs will be made available online on March 20 for friends, sponsors and families to watch.

About the Build A House…Build A Dream Contest for kids

Fox & Roach/Trident Charities is proud to be the founding sponsor of the Build A House…Build A Dream contest which raises funds for and awareness of the home-building efforts of Habitat for Humanity in Chester County and the greater Delaware Valley.

2021 marks the 18th anniversary of the contest. To date, more than 6,000 fifth-grade students from 750 area schools have participated, and roughly $500,000 has been raised through sponsorships in support of Habitat. In addition, hundreds of volunteer hours have been given by BHHS Fox & Roach/Trident sales associates and employees.

The contest is open to any fifth-grader in public, private, charter, parochial, or homeschool in the greater Delaware Valley. Students work individually or in pairs to build their own three-dimensional model dream home to be evaluated by a panel of judges from the building industry. All children receive recognition for their efforts. The contest is free to enter and relies exclusively on sponsorships to raise money.
