HomeAid Orange County invites you to the return of Project Playhouse at Irvine Spectrum, a fundraising event showcasing the talents and creativity of the building industry to raise money and awareness for neighbors experiencing homelessness. Thrilling crowds since its debut in 1992, this popular community event brings together top builders, designers, and trade partners who donate their time and resources to create stunning, one-of-a-kind playhouse designs that will delight kids of all ages.
The playhouses will be auctioned off to the highest bidders on October 5th (at AV Irvine) with proceeds benefiting HomeAid’s mission to help people experiencing homelessness rebuild their lives.
Playhouse Village Tours (September 7-October 5)
Opening Day: September 7th
Time: 11 AM - 5 PM
Location: Irvine Spectrum (near the Giant Wheel)
Project Playhouse Village tours will offer the community and interested buyers an up-close experience. Opening Day on September 7th will feature special activities including face painting, goodie bags, and an opportunity to win prizes from Dave and Busters. Paused in 2012, Project Playhouse returns as part of HomeAid's 35th Anniversary celebration, and to raise critical funding.
With housing affordability continuing to impact more individuals and families in Orange County, HomeAid’s mission to build a future without homelessness is more relevant than ever. Proceeds from the sale of the playhouses, Playhouse Village tours, and the Auction Party will support programs and housing solutions for struggling families in Orange County. Interested playhouse buyers are encouraged to complete an online interest form or contact HomeAid at 949-949-220-1136.
