“We invite the community to join us as we celebrate 35 years of helping folks in the greater Morris County area with an affordable place to live, whether it’s for homeownership opportunities, home repair or collaborating with community organizations,” said Morris Habitat for Humanity CEO Blair Schleicher Bravo. “What better way to celebrate than to kick off New Jersey’s largest Habitat project, providing 25 affordable homes. Sponsors and attendees will enable 25 families with a hand up to homeownership!”

The evening’s spotlight will be on the Hearts & Hammers Gala Honoree presentations. Gala honorees for 2020 include: Elizabeth Parker, Morris Habitat board member and executive editor and co-publisher of New Jersey Hills Media Group, with the Don Kuhn Inspiration Award; and Corporate Partner awards to Beyer Ford, Provident Bank and Ethan Allen, Northern New Jersey Group.

The fun-filled gala features silent and live auctions, a multicourse dinner, music and dancing. Corporate sponsorships range from $2,500 to $25,000 and individual tickets cost $250.
