Dream Home Winner

$1,455,300 Raised for St. Jude - Dream Home Winner Announced

Judith Denny of Bakersfield is the winner of the 2007 St. Jude Dream Home.

Denny's name was drawn Saturday night during a live telethon on ABC23. The telethon was the culmination of a six-month campaign to raise money for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee. This year's event raised $1,455,300, which is a national record for a St. Jude Dream Home campaign, according to event organizers. People entered the raffle by purchasing tickets for $100 with all proceeds going to the hospital.

St. Jude Children Research Hospital treats children with catastrophic illnesses and pays all expenses for that treatment.

The $550,000 Pheonix Custom Home was the largest of several prizes handed out during the telethon. Below is the complete list of prize winners.
