Evergreen Habitat for Humanity’s seventh annual Raising the Roof breakfast benefit on Friday garnered more than $25,000, the group announced.
Proceeds from the event, which drew more than 275 people to the Hilton Vancouver Washington, go to the Clark County home-building Habitat affiliate.
Keynote speaker John Deeder, superintendent of Evergreen Public Schools, described how poor housing arrangements can negatively affect schoolchildren and how the nonprofit group’s work helps to remedy that.
Habitat volunteer Stacia White was presented with the 2010 Ray Johnson Volunteer of the Year Award.
