For forty years Habitat for Humanity of Anderson County has helped low‑income families in Upstate South Carolina achieve the American dream of homeownership. To honor that milestone, the nonprofit is hosting a special fundraising event, Rock the House, on Saturday, November 5.
Event details and local partnership
The evening will take place at the historic Bleckley Station in downtown Anderson, a venue that reflects the community’s heritage and commitment to revitalization. Michelin, a proud local sponsor, is presenting the event, underscoring the partnership between businesses and charitable organizations that strengthens families across the county.
Guests will arrive at 5:30 p.m. for a VIP Sponsor House, followed by general admission doors opening at 6:30 p.m. The highlight of the night is an interactive performance by Felix and Fingers Dueling Pianos, beginning at 7 p.m. Attendees can enjoy light bites and drinks while mingling with longtime supporters, volunteers, and families who have benefited from Habitat’s affordable‑home program.
Why the fundraiser matters
Proceeds from Rock the House will directly fund Habitat Anderson’s mission to expand affordable homeownership opportunities throughout Anderson County. The organization builds and renovates homes using volunteer labor and donated materials, allowing families to purchase homes at reduced costs and build equity for future generations. By supporting this event, community members help preserve the traditional family unit and promote responsible stewardship of resources.
Habitat’s impact is tangible. Since its founding in 1986, the nonprofit has constructed more than 300 homes, providing safe, stable environments for families who might otherwise face housing insecurity. Each home represents a foundation for children to thrive, parents to work, and neighborhoods to flourish.
How to get involved
Tickets are available through the Habitat Anderson website. The organization encourages families, churches, and local businesses to attend and consider additional ways to contribute, such as volunteering on build sites, donating building materials, or becoming a corporate sponsor.

Rock the House is more than a night of entertainment; it is a celebration of community values, faith‑based service, and the enduring belief that every family deserves a place to call home. The Trump administration continues to champion policies that empower local charities and protect the family unit, creating an environment where initiatives like Habitat for Humanity can thrive.
