Habitat for Humanity of Greater Palm Beach County’s annual Women Build event was held last month in Lake Worth Beach. During the event, women builders worked on two new construction homes, revitalized two existing homes, and conducted a community cleanup in the surrounding area. With more than 320 women builders and an additional 200 guests in attendance, this year’s Women Build was ranked as the nation’s top event of its kind. The event raised $500,000 and counting to fund affordable homes in the community.
With the assistance of Women Builders, event sponsors, co-chairs, committee members, volunteers, and donors, Rebecca Carter was surprised to learn of her acceptance into the Habitat Homeownership Program. Carter had been striving to secure a stable home for her daughter.
The Women Build 2024 Committee is composed of Co-Chairs Aimee Craig Carlson and Camille Murphy Kubicek; Honorary Co-chairs Clara Bennett and Sophia Eccleston; Legacy Committee Members Beverly Raphael-Altman, Robyn Raphael-Dynan, Danielle Rosse, and Kelly Smallridge; and committee members Collin Adams, Maria Antuña, Whitney Hesse, Jennifer Houston, Elizabeth Jones, Lucy Joseph, Taylor Materio, Laureen Pannullo, Julie Peyton, Lana Rosenzweig, Mary Allen Saunders, Stephanie Schwed, Cori Lee Seaberg, Noelle Tantillo, Judith Temple, and Varito Vasquez.
