The Oaks Development Company's third annual dream home event wa a huge success for local children's charity, Lawton Food 4 Kids! Over 750 people toured the home throughout the weekend. $3,812 was collected from admission and builder Ron Nance matched that amount making the total raised $7,624. According to Dr. Linda Dzialo, this was the best dream home event ever. Food 4 Kids provides chronically hungry elementary school children in Lawton Public Schools with backpacks full of nutritious food to take home over the weekends and on school holidays. Without this program many of these children would have little or nothing to eat aside from the free meals they receive at school.
The cost to fund Lawton Food 4 Kids will be approximatley $60,000 this year. It costs $200 to provide one backpack for one child for the year. The amount raised by The Oaks Development Company's Dream Home will provide one years worth of nutritious food for 38 Children.
In the dream home, also known as "The Lakeside Chateau", visitors were able to tour a 3100 squre foot luxury home reminiscent of a Mediterranean Castle. The castle turrett was a favorite of all who toured the home. Housing the study, this grand space is open to the sweeping curved staircase and grand two story foyer.
The dream home was fully furnished and accessorized by Brady's Design Center giving visitors the latest insight on interior home decor. Upstairs, visitors were able to relax in comfortable oversized theater recliners while experiencing a true home theater retreat staged by Audio Tech.
Builder Ron Nance has been an integral par of the Lawton business community for over a quarter century and contines to give back to the community as the builder of the Westbrook project for ABC's Extreme Makeover Home Edition and recipient of Lawton Homebuilders "Builder of the Year" two years in a row.
