All Star Miracle Home will raise $2 million for Children’s Miracle Network of Houston
Meritage Homes broke the ground for its latest project, Houston’s own All Star Miracle Home, on March 21 in Missouri City’s prestigious Sienna Plantation community. Benefiting the Children’s Miracle Network of Houston, some of the biggest names in Houston, including the Houston Rockets, Guaranty Bank, RE/MAX¨ of Texas and H Texas, have come together to make this outreach program possible. The home’s ground breaking was celebrated with a digging ceremony, a home tour, spectacles in the sky performed by the RE/MAX skydiving team and delicious delights by Spectrum Catering. The project’s major donors were in attendance, as well as the Rockets mascot, Clutch, and members of the Houston Rockets Power Dancers. Two hundred tickets were purchased at the kick-off celebration, raising $20,000 on the project’s opening day.
The All Star Miracle Home will be a fully furnished and landscaped home, built by Meritage Homes and valued at $500,000, to be raffled off to one lucky winner. Entries may be purchased for $100 by Feb. 13, 2007. Raising $2 million for Children’s Miracle Network of the greater Houston area, 20,000 entries will be sold. Meritage Homes built its first All Star Miracle Home in 1996 in Phoenix, Ariz., and has raised nearly $8 million for the Children’s Miracle Network designated hospital in Phoenix. Houston’s home, located in the beautiful Spice Ridge Community of Sienna Plantation, will come complete with the finest upgrades, furniture, appliances, and a luxurious swimming pool in the backyard by Anthony &Sylvan Pools. The Houston Rockets will also design a custom room for the home. Tours of the All Star Miracle Home will be open to the public beginning in August.
