In Oregon, Ohio, the annual St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway is offering more than just a new home to lucky participants. This year, a brand-new 2026 Honda HR-V, generously donated by Jim White Honda, is among the exciting prizes. The giveaway is part of a larger effort to raise funds for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, a cause that has long been supported by the local community.
Community Support and Generosity
The 2026 campaign is already seeing strong demand, with tickets selling quickly. The Dream Home, valued at approximately $500,000, is nearing completion in the Bay Meadows Estates subdivision. Built by Buckeye Real Estate Group, the home is part of a zero-cost build made possible through donated labor and materials. The campaign aims to raise $2.25 million, adding to the more than $14 million already raised over the past decade in the Toledo area.
Jason White of Buckeye Real Estate Group credits the community for the campaign’s success. “All the credit goes to the community and everyone that donates to this great cause,” he said. Jim White Honda shares this sentiment, with Chris Boles emphasizing the dealership’s commitment to giving back. “Kids are the future,” Boles stated. “We try to keep our hand involved in the community as much as possible. It’s just something we love to do. It’s a great thing for the community and a nice way for us to give back.”
Exciting Prizes Await
The Milano red HR-V, featuring a sport package with remote start, blind spot monitoring, black rims, and keyless entry, is a significant upgrade from previous years’ prizes. The vehicle is one of several prizes available with a single $100 ticket, which also includes the chance to win the Dream Home itself. Additionally, those who reserve their ticket by June 19 are eligible to win a $5,000 VISA gift card, courtesy of Midland Title.
Tickets are limited and expected to sell out, with every penny going directly to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. The mission of St. Jude, founded by Toledo native Danny Thomas, ensures that families never receive a bill for treatment, travel, housing, or food, allowing them to focus entirely on their child’s care.
For those interested in participating, tickets can be reserved by calling 1-800-831-7061 or visiting the St. Jude website. The community’s continued support is crucial to the success of this charitable initiative, which not only offers exciting prizes but also contributes significantly to a noble cause.
