Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 1, 2021 – Middle Tennessee’s most trusted home builder, Willow Branch Homes, has graciously donated one of their brand new builds to raffle off in support of two local nonprofits: Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt and storytelling organization, I Am Second. The organizations will offer the chance to win the home this fall.
Tickets went on sale on Aug. 31, for the first-ever I Am Home Raffle, and a winner will be drawn on Nov. 6. Tickets cost $100 each. The I Am Home Raffle home is nestled in the rolling hills of Tennessee in one of the country’s most sought after communities, The Fields of Canterbury. The neighborhood, located in Thompson’s Station, is just minutes from one of America’s most charming and reputable downtowns of Franklin, Tennessee. Williamson County was recently voted as one of America’s best places to live. Front porch living truly becomes a reality in this part of the country. This quaint neighborhood is just 20 minutes outside of Nashville, aka “Music City” - alive with a rhythm that woos both locals and tourists with its vibrant energy and live music. The southern hospitality and endless charm is at the heartbeat of these local towns.
The home itself is indicative of the beautiful surrounding farms and green spaces, while leaning into the rapidly evolving culture of Tennessee. This brand new 3,072-square-foot modern home includes four bedrooms. 3.5 baths, a two-car garage, open concept kitchen and more! The home interior is designed by Willow Branch along with I Am Second’s celebrity ambassadors, Kathie Lee Gifford and Moriah Peters. Gifford and Peters demonstrate talent and exquisite taste within their own lifestyles, careers and homes, and they are thrilled at the opportunity to collaborate and curate a beautiful aesthetic for this residence.
“How I wish each person who buys a ticket could win this home,” said Gifford. “Sharing the heart of my home with the people I adore has been one of the greatest joys of my life. I invite you into the heart of each one of these organizations by supporting the I Am Home project and purchasing a ticket for a chance to win the key to this beautiful property. May God bless you and each of your homes.”
Willow Branch Homes offers a range of home designs for whatever stage of life you are in, including townhomes, lake cottages, neighborhood classics and estate-style homes on multi-acre building sites throughout Middle Tennessee.
Willow Branch is proud to be able to offer this home to one lucky winner while benefiting two nonprofit organizations that give so much back to the community.
Limited tickets are available, and participants can purchase a ticket online at iamhomeraffle.com.
With every purchase you are not only entering to win this remarkable home; but you are directly supporting the mission of Children’s Hospital, Tennessee’s premier pediatric health care facility, and I Am Second, a faith-based organization spreading hope to the community.
“We are excited to be named a beneficiary of the I Am Home Raffle later this fall,” said Meg Rush, MD, MMHC, President of Children’s Hospital. “At Children’s Hospital, we come to work every day focused on providing hope and healing for children through our commitment to personalized patient care. We are so grateful to have Willow Branch as a new community partner to support us in our service and dedication to children and families in our community.”
“I Am Second is honored to be able to join with such incredible partners and offer another way to serve the local community,” said I Am Second Executive Director, Mike Jorgensen. “We are thankful for all who participate in supporting our work and in making a great home available to a family in the community.”
