The Renaissance Scholars program at California State University, Fresno is one of the beneficiaries of this year’s Home of Hope drawing that provides a new house valued at as a grand prize and raises thousands of dollars for community needs.
The Home of Hope fundraiser was introduced in 2006 by residential builder Granville Homes to raise money for food, shelter, health care and education in the central San Joaquin Valley. Granville works with trade partners and sponsors to donate the house and other prizes, available to those who purchase tickets for $100 each.
In the previous four years, more than $1.6 million has been raised by the Home of Hope drawings.
Renaissance Scholars at Fresno State is designed to help the transition for foster children into independent adulthood by steering promising students through a special program of economic and personal support aimed at success in college.
The program, administered through the Division of Student Affairs, offers students health care, mentoring, academic guidance, career advice and numerous other services.
Other beneficiaries of this year’s drawing are the Foundations for Clovis, Central and Sanger schools, the Assistance League, Poverello House, Community Food Bank and Hinds Hospice/Angel Babies.
Tickets must be purchased before the drawing on Sept. 18. Details about how to purchase tickets are available at http://gvhomeofhope.com/
