ReStore Hosts Successful Event
Thanks to community support, Watauga County Habitat for Humanity
(WCHfH) and the Watauga Habitat ReStore raised a record-setting $47,000 at
their annual event, Blueprints and Bow Ties on Thursday, October 18th. This was the 7th year hosting the
celebration, designed to build awareness and support for Habitat’s mission to
eliminate poverty housing by building decent, affordable homes in partnership
with hard working families in need. This was Habitat’s 3rd year hosting
the event at the ReStore. “Our customers and supporters love to see what we’ve
done each year when we re-do the ReStore,” said Allison Jennings, Director of
Development. “Hosting Blueprints and Bow
Ties at our ReStore is our way of inviting guests to our home; and home is what
we are all about,” said Jennings.
Fabulous live and silent auctions were a highlight of the
evening’s festivities along with a photo booth and PLINKO for guests to enjoy. Auctioneer Jesse Miller broke the record for
highest amount raised in a Blueprints and Bow Ties Live Auction.
Corporate sponsors of the event included Wells Fargo, WCHfH
Board of Directors, Mast General Store, IONCON, Mountain Times, Appalachian
Mountain Brewery, First Security Insurance and Patty Smith and Gary Moss of
Ameriprise Financial.
“We are also extremely grateful to all the volunteers, ReStore
staff, Jesse Miller and members of the Planning Committee. The outstanding results of Blueprints and Bow
Ties 2018 is because of their tremendous teamwork, creativity and commitment”,
said Jennings.
