Augusta CSRA Habitat for Humanity hosts third annual Build the Band benefit
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – The Augusta CSRA Habitat for Humanity hosted its third annual Build the Band benefit Saturday at Miller Theater, with Morning Mix’s Cliff Bennett serving as host.
Audience members were able to vote on the best performance of the evening.
Bernadette Kelliher, CEO of Augusta CSRA Habitat for Humanity, said the event aims to match last year’s fundraising total.
“Well, when you stay and watch it, you’re going to see exactly what makes it, but it’s the talent. It’s the celebrating local. It’s the getting the word out. It’s the past years where we raised over $100,000 last year. If we can do the same this year, we’re going to put those years together, and we’re going to build the house the band built. And we are so excited about that,” Kelliher said.
The event came as Habitat for Humanity broke ground on its 88th home on Friday, marking 40 years of service to the community.
