Dr. Pappey attends the 7th Annual Home is Where the Heart is Gala, benefiting Habitat for Humanity of Greater Lowell

Dr. Pappey attended the 7th Annual Home is Where the Heart is Gala, benefiting Habitat for Humanity of Greater Lowell (HFHGL). The event took place Friday evening, March 7th at the UMass Lowell Inn and Conference Center. The festivities included a silent auction followed by a delicious dinner and live auction.  Drs. Athanasoulas and Pappey proudly support HFHGL which is a nonprofit organization that works to strengthen families and communities through affordable homeowner opportunities. This year’s Gala included over 400 guests and raised money to build two new houses in Lowell.  A very appreciative recent homeowner gave a moving account about how this organization has changed her family’s life. Since owning her home, she has more confidence in herself and was so thankful to the Habitat organization for making her dream become a reality. More importantly, she has witnessed what owning a home has done for her children.  They are thriving as a result of having a safe, comfortable place to live and do their homework. This has resulted in better grades for her children in school and a hopeful outlook for the whole family. This truly is a remarkable organization and we were proud to be part of this year’s Gala!
