Sommer Maynor of Cleveland was announced as grand prize winner of a new house built by Pratt & Associates and valued at approximately $310,000 during Chattanooga’s third annual St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway.
The winning ticket was pulled from 6,765 tickets during a live TV special that aired on Sunday on WRCB Channel 3.
The prize house is located in the Frontgate community of Ooltewah. It was built with support from many local vendors and suppliers, including ProBuild, USA Concrete and JHP Contracting.
Local St. Jude patients drew the winners of 15 other prizes, including a $7,000 Tonga spa courtesy of Rec Warehouse, a 49cc scooter courtesy of Allstate, a $1,000 Target gift card courtesy of Jody Millard Pest Control and a $1,000 gift certificate to Lisa’s Gold & Diamonds.
“We are very proud of the continued success of the St. Jude Dream Home giveaway,” said Jill Cannon of the Chattanooga Dream Home campaign. “We depend on volunteers, local businesses and residents, WRCB Channel 3 and WUSY US-101 to make this event possible and we really appreciate their support.”
The St. Jude Dream Home giveaway raised $676,500 for research and treatment at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is internationally recognized for its pioneering work in finding cures and saving children with cancer and other catastrophic diseases. Founded by late entertainer Danny Thomas and based in Memphis.
St. Jude freely shares its discoveries with scientific and medical communities around the world. No family ever pays for treatments not covered by insurance, and families without insurance are never asked to pay. St. Jude is financially supported by ALSAC, its fund-raising organization.
