“The community’s features make Towne Lake a perfect backdrop to build a 2011 Benefit Home,” said Don Klein, chairman of the fundraiser.


“A ‘Home for Good’


is a home that is good for all parties— that includes the developer, builder, homebuyer and the deserving charities.”


The beneficiaries of the 2011 fundraiser are Texas Children’s Cancer Center, the Alzheimer’s Association and HomeAid Houston. This year, a fourth charity was added by Newmark Homes, The 100 Club Survivor’s Fund, a charity that steps in to assist the families of officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty.


Each year two elegant homes are built for the fundraising project. In addition to the


donation of construction management and the homesite, GHBA members also donate materials, labor and services. The Benefit Homes are luxurious in design and amenities, and are sold at market value. Since the Project began 31 years ago, $7 million has been raised for local charities.


Newmark’s Woodhaven is 3,973 sq. ft. with four bedrooms and 3.5 baths. The homebuyers who purchased the Benefit Home received $97,000 in free upgrades.


A second home was built this year in Bridgeland. The Howard Hughes Corp., the developer of the community, donated the homesite, and David Weekley Homes donated construction of its Bernard Plan.
