Today the Lake Charles 2022 St. Jude Dream House was given away live on KPLC-TV! This $600,000 (estimated value) home is truly a dream that was built in the new Terre Sainte subdivision at 2015 St. Joeseph Avenue. It's a gorgeous 4 Bedrooms, 3.5 Baths, with 3,400 Sq. Ft. living with an amazing covered outdoor kitchen and courtyard with a fireplace, plus a gas fire pit. The 2022 St. Jude Dream House giveaway is an exciting event, even more so for the person who won it.

However, it is the money raised through the sale of Dream House raffle tickets that plays a vital role in maintaining the daily operations of the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. This giveaway is about making sure the children being treated at St. Jude have the best care and that their families don't have the burden of thousands of dollars in medical bills.

Everyone who bought a $100 Dream House raffle ticket gives a child at St. Jude a chance to grow up. All the proceeds go towards life-saving treatments, care, lodging, and continued research at St. Jude. So this giveaway is a win, win for everyone. Speaking of winning, the December 6 St. Jude Dream House giveaway took place on KPLC live at 12 noon.
