Earlier this month, Women Build participants joined together to celebrate a record-breaking Women Build. Throughout September and October, over 130 women came together to build partner family Charles’ home. Along with raising their hammers, they also successfully raised $63,160.50 – the largest total for Women Build in our history! It is our honor and privilege to work with these amazing women and community leaders each year.

Congratulations to the top five Women Build fundraisers:

• Sherry Holtzclaw
• Heather Gigliotti
• Laura Amlin
• Sharon Kuzma
• Laura Gill

Congratulations to our top fundraising team, raising over $25,800: First Merchants Builds People, Homes, and Communities! “First Merchants team members did an incredible job fundraising through bake sales, jeans days and more. In honor of their hard work, First Merchants donated $20,000 to support the Women Build program this year!
