Black Hills Home Builders Raise $88,000 at Annual Charity Pub Crawl

The Black Hills Home Builder Association successfully hosted its annual *Pub Crawl for a Cause* at the Central States Fairgrounds in Rapid City, South Dakota. The event, which took place recently, raised an impressive $88,000 to support local families facing medical hardships, including two women battling cancer and a burn victim.

Community Support Makes a Difference

Organizers emphasized the importance of the funds raised for the beneficiaries. BHHBA Workforce Development Director Zada Jones stated, “There are two girls who are struggling with cancer, and one woman who was a burn victim. All the money raised, and all of the auctions from our partners, goes to these ladies in our community.” The initiative reflects the association’s commitment to uplifting those in need.

Since its inception, the Pub Crawl has experienced remarkable growth. In its first year, the event raised only $300, showcasing how community involvement has expanded significantly over time. The funds collected this year represent a substantial increase, underscoring the generosity of attendees and supporters.

Engaging Activities and Auctions

During the event, participants enjoyed a lively atmosphere filled with engaging activities, including live and silent auctions. Jones highlighted the variety of items available, saying, “Tonight’s just a great opportunity to come out and have fun, enjoy some drinks, and bid on some exciting items. There’s even a Labrador puppy up for auction.” This variety not only entertained attendees but also encouraged more participation in the fundraising efforts.

The annual Pub Crawl stands as a testament to the community’s strength and compassion, showing how a fun event can make a significant impact on the lives of those who are struggling. As the Black Hills Home Builder Association continues to host such philanthropic events, the future looks bright for both the organization and the families it supports.
