Local organization gets ready for annual New Year’s Eve Gala

JACKSON, Tenn. — A local organization is hosting a special occasion to welcome the new year.

The second annual Dream Builders Gala presented by the Habitat for Humanity will be held at the New Southern Hotel in downtown Jackson.

“It is such a great event to end up the new year and bring in the new decade,” said Andrea Huggins, CEO for Habitat for Humanity in Jackson.

Funds raised at the event will go toward supporting a great cause.

“Helping us raise all of our funds for our builds here in Jackson,” Hudgins said. “We are working on two homes currently, and we are also working on 13 senior repairs.”

Hudgins said guests at the gala can expect a night with music, dancing, a toast to the new year, a live auction for vacation homes and a band.

“As well as other games and things going on. You know, ringing in the new year with a champagne toast at midnight,” Hudgins said. “We have two great title sponsors. One is WBBJ, as well as an anonymous donor that is a huge supporter of Habitat as well. We would like to thank all of our table sponsors that have sponsored that night just to make this happen.”
