A Look Back at the 2024 St. Jude Dream Home

The winning tickets were drawn. The winners of the St. Jude Dream Home and other top-shelf prizes donated from generous sponsors celebrated. And another group of very special people — the children battling life-threatening diseases and their families — received life-changing financial support.

Yes, the 6th Richmond St. Jude Dream Home is in the books — and it will go down as the best-selling, most successful chapter in the 6-year history of the collaboration between StyleCraft and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

Let’s take a closer look at how it came together (again), who did the heavy lifting, and the wide-ranging benefits of the 2024 edition of the St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway.

INSIDE THE HOME

What better place to Live Up than The Highlands? It’s in the name. This year’s St. Jude Dream Home is a single-family home featuring the popular Wilson floor plan — with highlights including:

• Numbers to love: 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, and a 2-car garage.
• The right space in the right places: Spacious living spaces and flexible entertaining areas including a first-floor Flex Room & outdoor living area.
• Built for relaxing & rejuvenating: The Private Owner’s Suite comes complete with a walk-in closet & private bathroom featuring a dual vanity.
• A culinary oasis: Find an open kitchen complete with Bosch appliances, pantry, large island, and adjacent café.
• An entertainment destination: The wide-open family room is ideally designed for hosting family, neighbors, and guests.

PLAYING A HUGE PART

Try to build a house all by yourself — and it’s certain failure. Likewise, try to manage a project as robust and nuanced as the St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway solo, and the project will fall well short. Fortunately, we found some generous, hard-working companies and people along this journey to ensure that the St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway Lives Up beyond expectations. We’d like to send one more hearty and heart-felt “thank you” to the StyleCraft team; all of our valued Trade Partners who donated time, materials, and their rich expertise, as well as our passionate sponsors and volunteers. It takes a city — and we’ve got an amazing one right here in Greater Richmond.

Please take a moment to see the full list of the special companies that helped make the 2024 St. Jude Dream Home come to life.

A RECORD-BREAKING GIVEAWAY

We believe that when you’re talking about raising money for a cause such as helping children battling life-threatening illnesses and their families, it’s OK to brag a little. And this year, maybe even a lot. That’s because the 2024 St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway raised $1.4 million — a record amount that brings the total raised over 6 years to more than $6 million. Every cent of that total goes toward the lifesaving work of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. On top of that, the family holding the winning ticket for the Dream Home Giveaway lives right here in Richmond — working with cancer patients in local hospitals. You couldn’t have written a better ending to this year’s campaign.

None of this could be accomplished without communitywide support. Every year, despite whatever challenges arise, Richmond rallies together to make the 2024 St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway a stand-out success. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
