Project Playhouse

Project Playhouse Turns 20!

10.07.11

It’s hard to believe it’s already the 20th anniversary of Project Playhouse benefiting HomeAid OC, an organization dedicated to rebuilding lives by providing dignified housing to the homeless. Since debuting, it's raised $5.8 million, and provided 47 housing developments that serve victims of domestic violence, abused children and homeless families.

Project Playhouse will kick off Saturday with an open house from noon to 6 p.m. It’s the only day you can go in to the incredible playhouses. Tickets cost $10 (donation) per person, no charge for children 3 and under.

Following the grand opening Village tours will be available Fridays (noon to 4 p.m.) and Saturdays and Sundays (noon 
to 6 p.m.) for a $2 donation. You can only view the playhouses through the doors. Houses will remain on display until the gala auction at 6 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 11 at the Balboa Bay Club in Newport Beach.

Tickets cost $275 per person. Want to register as a bidder to own your very own dream playhouse? You can register now, by contacting Gina Scott at HomeAid Orange County, via email at gina@homeaidoc.org or call 949.553.9510.
