St. Jude Dream Home Coachella Valley: $900K Giveaway

St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is giving away a $900,000 home right here in the Coachella Valley, and tickets are open to the public. If you haven't heard about the St. Jude Dream Home Coachella Valley giveaway yet, here's a full rundown.

How the St. Jude Dream Home Coachella Valley Giveaway Works

St. Jude runs its Dream Home Giveaway program in cities across the country each year. Supporters buy ticket packages, typically priced around $100 each, and one winner receives the completed home free and clear. The proceeds go directly to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, which funds treatment and research for children with cancer and other life-threatening diseases at no cost to patients or their families.

Tickets are limited, so the odds are far better than a lottery. Once tickets sell out, St. Jude draws a winner. The winner can take the home or, in most markets, opt for a cash prize instead. St. Jude publishes the official rules and ticket availability on their website, so you can verify details directly before purchasing.

A Look at the $900,000 Home

The home under construction for this giveaway is valued at $900,000 and is being built new in the valley. A recent construction tour shows a spacious open floor plan, a well-appointed kitchen, a generous primary bedroom suite, and indoor-outdoor living spaces that fit the desert lifestyle well. The home is unfurnished at the giveaway stage, which is standard for the Dream Home program.
